Validity of these findings aside, a brief look at the headlines on the source site (psypost.org) suggests it may be a news outlet that plays to confirmation bias in order to generate shares on social media.

That's very well written.

Something stinks with this paper.

I don't personally think Black Lives Matter people are sociopaths for protesting during a quarantine, I don't think people trying to live their lives, and keep their business open, and feed their families, are sociopaths.

I would love to find out if this paper underwent peer review and see if it's reproducible before I believe it.

It could be bunk and agenda driven like the hydroxycholoroqunine paper which was retracted. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

Isn't weird, readily-accepted, severe adherence to arbitrary draconian rules like indefinite house confinement, and the social shaming for any infraction, a form of sociopathy?

It's like a cult - people love the moral superiority they get from following rules(whether they're based in reality or not) and the permission it gives them to berate and abuse other people, who even so little as question the rules, and they categorize these people as agents of evil.

Social shaming for not following the pack in their agoraphobia? Isn't that sociopathy?
