The study identified the words that psychopaths most often say.
The results of the observations were shared by scientists from the Stanford Social Media Lab (USA).
Experts conducted a study involving 14 psychopathic killers, according to a scientific paper published in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology .
Scientists analyzed habits, worldview, lifestyle, and then compared them with data from people who do not have mental health problems.
Experts have found that psychopaths are twice as likely to use words related to food, finances and intimate relationships.
But they avoid or very rarely use words that relate to family, religion and social communications.
Psychologists note that this is due to their lack of empathy and indicates their isolation and selfishness.
In addition, psychopaths are more likely to use complex sentences that are connected by the words “because,” “therefore,” “for this reason.”
They do this especially often when they talk about their crimes. This indicates that they have deliberately broken the law and are trying to justify themselves.
