The article challenges long-held stereotypes about psychopathy and narcissism, suggesting that women can also possess these dark traits. Historically, research has focused on male examples, assuming that women were inherently more virtuous. However, studies, such as one by Antonella Somma, indicate that women can demonstrate psychopathic and narcissistic traits in ways that differ from men. The expression of these traits can be subtler and often undetected by diagnostic criteria developed primarily for male populations, thus underscoring the need for broader research in understanding personality disorders across genders.
While traditionally, psychopathy and narcissism have been viewed as male traits, recent research reveals that women can also exhibit these dark personality traits, albeit differently.
Research shows that women may express psychopathic and narcissistic traits differently due to societal perceptions, making it challenging to diagnose using conventional methods.
