Title: Psychopaths Likely Have A Specific Taste In Music

In a study of 200 people who listened to 260 songs, those with the highest psychopath scores were among the greatest fans of a few select songs. As it turns out, psychopaths likely have a very specific taste in music, according to the study.

Only about 1% of the general population meets the psychological description of a psychopath, but the figure is far higher in prisons, where about one in five has the disorder. One estimate, from Kent Kiehl, a psychologist at the University of New Mexico, suggests that psychopaths cost the US government (taxpayers) $460 billion a year.

According to The Guardian, contrary to the movie trope epitomised by Alex in A Clockwork Orange and Hannibal Lecter in the Silence of the Lambs, psychopaths are no fonder of classical music than anyone else, though they do appear to have other musical preferences, psychologists say.  Blackstreet number one hit No Diggity and with Eminem’s Lose Yourself rated highly among those who are considered “psychopaths.”

The New York University team that conducted the study says that the findings are still unpublished and preliminary, but so far, they are intrigued. The goal now is to launch a major study across the United States in which thousands of people at every point in the psychopathy spectrum will be quizzed on their musical tastes.

Tests on the second group of volunteers suggested that the desired songs could help to predict the disorder. Whatever their other personality traits might be, fans of The Knack’s My Sharona and Sia’s Titanium were among the least psychopathic, the study found. The researchers have a serious goal in mind: if psychopaths have distinct and robust preferences for songs, their playlists could be used to identify them.

“The media portrays psychopaths as ax murderers and serial killers, but the reality is they are not obvious; they are not like The Joker in Batman. They might be working right next to you, and they blend in. They are like psychological dark matter,” said Pascal Wallisch who led the research. “You don’t want to have these people in positions where they can cause a lot of harm,” said Wallisch. “We need a tool to identify them without their cooperation or consent.”

Scientists have already found gene variants that are more common in psychopaths, but they are hardly predictive of the disorder. They appear to alter people’s tendencies for empathy and aggression, but they do not determine people’s actions. Brain scans highlight distinct signs too, as the neuroscientist James Fallon discovered when he spotted the patterns of a psychopath in his own brain’s anatomy, but again, these do not set a person’s behaviour. Even if they did, the police cannot search for dangerous individuals by hauling people into brain scanners. –The Guardian

Wallisch recruited volunteers for the study on “musical tastes” but many of the participants had separately sat through a battery of psychological tests, including one called the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, which ranks people’s psychopathic traits. By combining the volunteers’ answers from the music study with their results from the psychopath test, Wallisch identified songs that seemed to be most popular among psychopaths, and others favored by non-psychopaths.

Other than No Diggity and Lose Yourself, Wallisch declined to name the songs that did have predictive power to pick out a psychopath out of concern that doing so might compromise any future screening test or study.

Poster Comment:

What, no Death Metal? I thought for sure that would be a favorite genre among psychopaths.

Blackstreet number one hit No Diggity and with Eminem’s Lose Yourself rated highly among those who are considered “psychopaths.”

No surprise there I suppose.

Whatever their other personality traits might be, fans of The Knack’s My Sharona were among the least psychopathic, .

That's encouraging news.(1 image)

Maybe this result is caused because a fair number of My Sharona fans were murdered by psychopaths who hate it.

Listening to it makes me want to take out a chainsaw. But that's just me.

One of the cover bands I was in played that song - the audiences loved it.

You'd have to be a psychopath not to.

Mellencamp always made me think of fava beans with a nice Chianti.

It begs the question: What were you doing, and where you from '81-'85? Cougar-Mellencamp or whomever splashed a nice batch of iconic rock during that stretch.

You gonna tell me yo don't like THIS? (ok, so the video is low budget, sleazy, and homo-erotic, but that's besides the point ;-):

Hurts So Good made Mellencamp's reputation, both the song and the video. He never did anything else as good.

Rain On The Scarecrow, Small Town, Paper in Fire, Pink Houses.

Yeah - he peaked in 1982. < / sarcasm >

And you are right that he peaked in 1982.

Deckard is certainly entitled to his opinion. He is not entitled to demand that I share his opinion or to demand some explanation of why I won't assent to his opinion. Like anyone actually gives a flying crap what I post about Mellencamp out here in some dusty backwater of the Internet on an obscure forum with less than 25 active posters, all middle-aged or elderly men.

Then why allow yourself to get so worked-up over it? Almost none of know each other anyway,so what difference does it make if someone has a different opinion?

BTW,that applies to him and everyone else,too. Including me.

Right now I am too busy hating on and wanting to out that little homosexual on Meet the Depressed with the "butch" name of "Chuck". What I would really like to do is just beat the piss out of him,but I know that's not possible. It really shouldn't be hard for anyone with a upper-class income that lives in DC to "out" him,though.

I honestly don't care if he is a homosexual,but if I can use that as a tool to hurt him,I will do it.

ALL the freaking networks are controlled by the left in America,and they only hire "public faces/public voices" they can blackmail and control.

Exactly.

I'm not especially worked up about it. But I won't just let it slide either.

Notice he seems reluctant to return and defend what he was doing on this thread to try to ram his opinions down my throat. And over what? Some crappy Eighties artist seldom thought of other than over-Fifty seniors playing through their Greatest Hits of the Eighties playlist? Puh-leeze. How important can that be?

You might save your breath. He doesn't have the guts for hardcore sodomy IMO. It is not a hobby for those of delicate constitution. A man has to have some deep-set subconcious issues to embrace and practice it.

If you are talking about Mellencamp. My kids all love him, unlike much of my other music. They range from 17 to 26.

I saw this in a new World's Worst Body Art article at DailyMail. Mellencamp lyrics? I think so.

Remember the photos of tats on black women when Obomber was running for president,with his slogan spelled wrong?

A few years ago a fat girl maybe 18 started working at a local stop and rob,and had Chinese characters tattooed on her neck. When I asked her what they stood for,she told me "My name,Laura". Not thinking,I started laughing,and when she asked why,I told her there was no suck critter as a character for a name that doesn't exist in Chinese,and then asked her what made her think some white trash local tat artist reads and writes Chinese,when half those goobers can barely read English?

I sealed the deal by telling her "For all you know,it means "Stupid,fat white cow",and you will wear that for the rest of your life. Good thinking!

I really shouldn't leave home when I am in a bad mood.
