Psychopaths use these words twice as often as non-psychopaths. Psychopaths use words related to food, sex and money twice as often as non-psychopaths, a study finds. Psychopaths are also less likely to use words related to family, religion and social needs.
The trends in word use reflect how psychopaths display excessive selfishness, detachment and emotional flatness.
The results come from an analysis of stories told by 14 psychopathic murderers in Canadian prisons.
They were compared with 38 convicted murderers who were not psychopaths.
Each criminal talked about their crime in detail and then the words they used were analysed.
