Hello,
I have a question which is not easy to get answered, unfortunately Im not deep enough in psychology and I dont know a lot sources. Please tell me, exist a posibility to get out from a low distance (1-5m) whether a person has characters of a psychopatic person?
Interestingly there is quite a substantial literature on the relationship between psychopathology and personal distance. To over simplify, those with a psychopathology often seem not to observe the same interpersonal distances thatare normally found in their societies. Personal space itself is partly cultural so you need to take that into account in international studies. In some cases psychopaths are found to defend their own space more aggressively and feel invaded even when others are a long distance away. Paradoxically they may also invade others personal space without empathy for them. Google this and you will almost certain get into a substantial literature. I mention it in passing in my book The Language of Space.
thanks for your answer Bryan,
Yes I have read about, that psychopaths can simulate empathy, but doesnt feel it.
I looking for a possibility how to detect the psychopaths before they kill someone or do violent. Like, if a camera detect a him and can check his temperature of face reaction, whether it were possible to detect whether these person is a danger for people?
I dont know how far are the technologies for imaging information like this.
