CROSS ETHNIC EXAMINATION OF PSYCHOPATHIC TRAITS AMONG PAKISTANI INDIVIDUALS
Main Article Content
Abstract
As a forensic concept, psychopathy has received the greatest attention in the present century. Crime, hostility, violence, and personality traits are just a few of the areas that researchers have found psychopathy to be associated with. The purpose of the current research was to examine the link between psychopathy and ethnic diversity among young Pakistanis. Its secondary objective was to evaluate these factors considering demographic data (age, gender). This study used the demographics form and the Urdu Psychopathy Scale (Dil & Kazmi, 2016). Six hundred eighty-seven people were asked to participate. There are substantial disparities in the prevalence of psychopathy between the sexes. The results of an ANOVA test showed that there are statistically significant racial disparities in psychopathy.
