Sociopathic traits linked to non-compliance with mask guidelines and other COVID-19 containment measures

BY ERIC W. DOLAN AUGUST 22, 2020

New research from Brazil has found that people who are unconcerned with adhering to measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 tend to display higher levels of traits associated with antisocial personality disorder, also known as sociopathy. The findings have been published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.

On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2 to be a global pandemic. Governments around the world urged people to follow preventive health measures such as frequent hand washing and physical distancing.

“It is noticeable that compliance with containment measures varies greatly between people,” said the authors of the new study. “This is at least partially connected with psychological factors such as personality traits.”

2. This gives me an idea

The next time I see someone who isn't complying with our state mandate, I'm going to comment loudly enough for them to hear that people who refuse to wear a mask are showing sociopathic traits. I know it won't sink in, and in all likelihood they won't even know what a sociopath is, but I'll be amusing myself. I can always use a good chuckle.

to respond to your comments with violence.
Be careful.

I'll have to make sure I can run faster than they can.

They are sociopathic deplorables.
