ABSTRACT

Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, and a tendency towards irresponsibility, which leads to difficulties in establishing healthy and meaningful relationships. This study aims to understand the influence of psychopathy on interpersonal relationships from the participant's own perspective. For this purpose, a descriptive/correlational study was conducted with an accidental sample of 261 participants (mean age = 31.25 years, SD = 13.41). Data were collected using the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (Levenson, et al. 1995), adapted for the Argentine population by Peiró & García (2024) (EAPL-20), and an ad hoc survey that measures certain personal characteristics during childhood, participants' perceptions of their bonds with others, and their typical ways of relating to others. The results show that individuals with psychopathic traits tend to recall being shy, timid, and manipulative in childhood, and tend to perceive less warmth and higher levels of manipulation, hostility, and control from those around them. High levels of insensitivity are associated with greater manipulation and lower levels of warmth and respect in interactions with others.
