Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a disregard for the rights of others, impulsivity, and a lack of empathy or guilt. Coercively controlling behaviors can be seen as a manifestation of these traits, as the individual is attempting to assert power and control over someone else without consideration of their rights or feelings. While other personality disorders may involve elements of control or manipulation, they are not typically associated with the level of coercion and disregard for others that would be seen in someone with antisocial personality disorder.
