Carl has psychopathy. You would expect him to

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychopathy is characterized by a lack of empathy, impulsivity, and antisocial behavior. Therefore, individuals with psychopathy are not likely to be concerned about possible punishment or to try to avoid it as much as possible (choice A). They are, however, very interested in rewards and are likely to continue their behavior even when the rewards don't come as often as they did (choice B). They are also unlikely to change their behavior quickly if rewards don't come as often as they did (choice C) because they have a higher threshold for stimulation and require more intense and frequent rewards to maintain their behavior. Therefore, the best choice is B. The option D is also incorrect because psychopaths are more interested in rewards than punishments.
