These studies show that traits of psychopathy may be found in about 10% of students. These traits also correlate with other variables such as law breaking behavior, cheating in class and sexual coercion.\u00a0 Psychopathic features also correlate with a love style called \u201cludus.\u201d Individuals who score high on items like \u201cI enjoy playing the \u2018game of love\u2019 with a number of different partners\u201d are characterized as having a ludus or game-playing love style. This love style correlates significantly with not only psychopathy but also with narcissism and Machiavellianism. (See Jonason, P. K., &amp; Kavanagh, P. (2010). The dark side of love: Love styles and the Dark Triad. Personality and Individual Differences, 49(6), 606-610. doi:10.1016 for an example of research on love and psychopathy in college students.)<\/p>\n<p>She points out some important differences between the clinical concept of psychopathy and the way in which psychopathic traits are measured with self-report measures but also discusses some of the ways in which college students with psychopathic traits\u00a0 do real harm to other students.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/user-759519594\/aftermath-radio-podcast-12-07-10\"><strong>You can listen to the full episode by clicking here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode, Dr. Schug focuses on the issue of psychopaths on college campuses.
