a personality trait that is part of the Dark Triad (along with narcissism and Machiavellianism), characterized by emotional coldness, impulsivity, reduced empathy, and a tendency to manipulative, antisocial behavior. Psychopathy within the Dark Triad (see The Dark Triad in Chapter 1.7 Key Psychological Concepts in Personality Psychology) is seen as a subclinical but socially destructive pattern that can manifest itself in a less pronounced but still harmful form. In the structure of psychopathy, impulsivity, irresponsibility and recklessness are always distinguished. In addition, the structure of psychopathy often includes characteristics associated with a destructive style of interpersonal relationships – a tendency to deception and manipulation. Non-clinical psychopathy prevents the formation of a prosperous self-concept, the establishment of normal interpersonal relationships, professional adaptation, and is characterized by general dissatisfaction with life.
