TL;DR Summary

New research set for presentation at the Cambridge Festival argues that female psychopaths are up to five times more common than previously believed, challenging the notion that psychopaths are predominantly male. Dr. Clive Boddy's study suggests that female psychopaths have been underestimated due to gender bias and the focus on criminal and male psychopaths in prior research. He asserts that female psychopaths exhibit different characteristics and are more manipulative, using deceit and seductive behavior to gain advantages. The findings have implications for risk management decisions and organizational leadership selection, and Dr. Boddy's talk is scheduled for March 16th at ARU's campus in Cambridge.
