-------------------------------------------------TITLE: Researchers map specific empathy blind spots found in psychopathic personalities
People who exhibit psychopathic traits experience deep deficits in empathy, but these deficits vary greatly depending on their specific personality profile. A new study reveals that highly callous individuals struggle to feel the emotions of others, while highly antisocial individuals primarily struggle to understand other people’s perspectives. This research was published recently in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
To understand these nuances, it is helpful to first break down the concept of psychopathy. In popular culture, psychopathy is often portrayed as a single, extreme condition. In reality, psychological science views psychopathic traits as existing on a spectrum within the general population.
Psychologists generally divide psychopathic traits into two main categories: primary and secondary. Primary traits reflect the internal, interpersonal aspects of psychopathy. These include deep-seated egocentricity, where a person focuses chiefly on their own needs, and callousness, which involves a cold indifference to the feelings of others.
Secondary traits relate to outward behavioral problems. This category includes antisociality, which refers to aggressive actions, impulsivity, and a chronic tendency to break rules. A person might score high in primary traits but low in secondary traits, or vice versa, meaning that two individuals with psychopathic tendencies can behave very differently in the real world.
Just as psychopathic traits are multi-dimensional, empathy is also not a single psychological entity. Psychologists separate empathy into three major components. These distinct components activate different networks within the human brain and influence behavior in entirely separate ways.
The first component is affective empathy. This describes the phenomenon of emotional contagion, where you physically feel the emotions another person is experiencing. If you start to feel a deep sense of sadness while watching a friend cry over a personal loss, you are experiencing affective empathy.
The second component is cognitive empathy. This involves taking perspective and intellectually understanding what another person is thinking or feeling. If you can accurately deduce why a coworker is frustrated based on their facial expressions and recent experiences, you are using cognitive empathy.
The third component is empathic concern. This represents the motivational side of empathy, involving feelings of sympathy and a genuine desire to help others. You might feel empathic concern when you volunteer to support a local charity, driven by a wish to improve the well-being of disadvantaged families.
Previous studies have routinely established that psychopathic traits are associated with lower overall empathy. Goodhew and Edwards, researchers based at the Australian National University, noticed a lingering gap in the scientific literature. Past investigations often lumped the different types of empathy together or failed to separate primary and secondary psychopathic traits during their data analysis.
Some classic empathy questionnaires measure cognitive and affective empathy but ignore empathic concern. Other assessment tools blend affective empathy and empathic concern into a single score. Goodhew and Edwards designed a project to isolate these elements completely, hoping to map the exact associations between each specific psychopathic trait and each specific empathy component.
To accomplish this, the authors recruited three hundred adult participants for a cross-sectional study. The volunteers completed a supervised online survey consisting of several psychological questionnaires. The average age of the participants was roughly twenty years old, and the group included a mix of university students and general community members.
Participants filled out an expanded version of the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale. This tool requires respondents to rate their agreement with statements reflecting selfishness, emotional coldness, and a history of interpersonal conflict. Based on these answers, the researchers calculated individual scores for egocentricity, callousness, and antisociality.
To assess emotional functioning, the volunteers completed two distinct empathy surveys. The Questionnaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy measured their tendency to intellectually understand and emotionally mirror others. A separate subscale from the Interpersonal Reactivity Index specifically tracked their feelings of empathic concern and sympathy.
The researchers utilized a statistical technique that evaluated all these variables simultaneously. This method allowed them to observe the unique contribution of each empathy component to each psychopathic trait. By doing this, they could rule out overlapping influences and pinpoint exactly where the empathy deficits occurred.
The results highlighted strict divisions in how individuals with different psychopathic traits process social situations. Egocentricity was uniquely and completely associated with reduced empathic concern. Egocentric people showed lower desires to care for others, but their ability to understand or emotionally mirror other people remained relatively intact.
Callousness presented a much more severe emotional deficit. High callousness scores were associated with strongly reduced affective empathy alongside reduced empathic concern. Essentially, highly callous individuals do not emotionally resonate with the people around them, nor do they feel any sympathy or motivation to help when others are suffering.
Antisociality showed an entirely different pattern. This secondary psychopathic trait was exclusively associated with reduced cognitive empathy. People prone to rule-breaking and aggressive outbursts primarily lack the ability to take another person’s perspective.
The researchers also analyzed how much of the variation in a person’s psychopathic traits could be explained by their empathy scores alone. The three components of empathy accounted for fifty-eight percent of the variation in callousness. This suggests that a lack of empathy is a central defining feature of a callous personality.
Conversely, empathy scores explained just eight percent of the variation in antisociality. According to the authors, this specific finding emphasizes that antisocial behavior is likely driven by factors unrelated to emotional resonance. Future investigations might look into other cognitive issues, such as an inability to control focus and attention, to explain why people develop antisocial tendencies.
The authors noted several limitations in their research methodology. The study utilized a non-forensic sample, composed of typical citizens rather than incarcerated individuals or diagnosed criminal offenders. Follow-up studies are needed to determine if these exact empathy blind spots appear in institutionalized populations.
Additionally, the research relied directly on self-reported data. Participants were trusted to rate their own personality traits and emotional responses honestly. Individuals displaying strong psychopathic traits sometimes lack self-awareness or attempt to present themselves in a favorable light, which can occasionally skew survey results.
Because the study was cross-sectional, the researchers cannot establish the direction of cause and effect. It remains unknown whether a natural deficit in empathy causes psychopathic traits to emerge, or if developing psychopathic behaviors gradually suppresses a person’s empathy.
Despite these caveats, the results paint a highly detailed picture of emotional dysfunction. While some individuals might simply struggle to mentally grasp another person’s viewpoint, others might understand the viewpoint perfectly well but feel a total absence of sympathy. Interventions designed to reduce harmful behaviors might require tailored approaches that target these very specific emotional blind spots.
The study, “On the relationship between psychopathic traits and cognitive empathy, affective empathy, and empathic concern,” was authored by Stephanie C. Goodhew and Mark Edwards.

Gambling Disorder: 4 Truths from a Groundbreaking New Study
Originally Published on January 20th, 2026 at 08:00 amWhen you picture someone with a gambling disorder, a specific image might come to mind. But what if that stereotype is outdated and dangerously incomplete?
A groundbreaking new study from an innovative program in Madrid called ‘Adcom’ reveals that the digital age is forging a new, more complex, and more hidden type of gambling addict. This research, based on hundreds of individuals who sought help voluntarily. And it challenges our most common assumptions about who is affected and why.
This article shares the most impactful and counter-intuitive findings from this research.
Prepare to see what gambling addiction really looks like today.
1. It’s Rarely Just About Gambling: The Hidden Mental Health Crisis
One of the study’s most critical findings is the extremely high rate at which Gambling Disorder co-occurs with other serious mental health conditions.
This situation, known as “Gambling Dual Disorder (GDD),” suggests that gambling is not an isolated issue. It’s a symptom of a much larger mental health struggle.
Among the participants who self-referred for a gambling problem, the numbers were stark:
- 57.4% showed evidence of other psychopathological symptoms.
- 64.9% experienced significant symptoms of depression.
- 51.3% were at risk for an anxiety disorder.
- 37.4% screened positive for ADHD.
This reframes gambling not as a simple lack of willpower, but as a complex disorder deeply intertwined with a person’s overall mental well-being. To be effective, treatment cannot just focus on the gambling; it must address these co-occurring conditions as well.
Gambling Disorder can be defined as “persistent and recurrent problematic gambling that leads to significant impairment or distress”.

Stay up-to-date with all of Dr. Jen’s work through her practice’s newsletter!
2. The Digital Divide: Online and Offline People with Gambling Disorder Are Strikingly Different People
This complex mental health picture becomes even more fragmented when we look at where the gambling happens. A divide that is creating two entirely different profiles of addiction.
The study revealed significant and clear differences between online gambling versus those who struggled with offline gambling. The most compelling demographic contrasts paint a clear picture:
- Age: The average online gambler was 30.6 years old, a full generation younger than the average offline gambler at 43.4 years old.
- Gender: While men were the majority in both groups, the disparity was much greater online. Only 5.3% of online gamblers were female, compared to 20.5% of offline gamblers.
- Prior Treatment: Individuals with offline gambling problems were far more likely to have previously sought help for a mental health issue (62.1%) than those with online problems (42.9%).
These differences are profound.
Technology has fractured the landscape of addiction. It’s created a younger, more isolated cohort that is harder to reach.
The fact that this online group has had significantly less prior contact with mental health services suggests a new, underserved population. A population that may not be captured by traditional outreach and may be less aware of their own underlying conditions.

Holiday Gambling: Why You Bet Matters More Than How Much
Are you planning to do a little gambling this holiday on a football game? Why you bet is more important than how much, according to this new study.
December 23, 2025
3. A Shocking Connection: Gambling Disorder and Compulsive Buying Go Hand-in-Hand
Perhaps the single most surprising finding was the powerful link between Gambling Disorder and another behavioral addiction: compulsive buying.
The study found that compulsive buying was a potential problem in an astonishing 85.2% of participants.
Breaking this down even further, for 57.7% of the entire group, the existence of a compulsive buying problem was considered “very probable/sure.”
This is highly counter-intuitive.
While both behaviors involve money, they are often viewed as completely separate issues. This powerful correlation is not just a quirky finding. It’s evidence that Gambling Disorder may be part of a broader spectrum of impulse-control disorders rooted in similar neurological pathways. It highlights a shared underlying mechanism related to the brain’s reward system and the cycle of financial distress and emotional coping.
4. Your Background and Other Vices Can Predict How You Gamble
The study went beyond simple descriptions to identify factors that could predict whether a person was more likely to struggle with online versus offline gambling. This analysis revealed a complex interplay of cultural factors, lifestyle, and co-occurring disorders that shape a person’s specific addictive behaviors.
The research identified several key predictors:
- Being born in Spain increased the odds of having an online gambling problem by more than five times.
- Excessive Internet use nearly tripled the odds of having an online gambling problem.
- Conversely, having a co-occurring alcohol addiction or an eating disorder significantly reduced the odds of having an online problem, making it far more likely the gambling problem was offline.
These points reveal that the specific form an addiction takes is not random. It is shaped by a combination of a person’s environment, other behaviors, and personal history.
Conclusion: A New Call for Awareness of Gambling Disorder
The message from this research is clear: the digital age has forged a new profile of gambling addiction that is younger, more hidden, and more complex. The old stereotypes simply don’t fit the modern reality.
Innovative programs like Adcom, which lower the barriers to seeking help, are not only crucial for providing treatment but also for gathering the vital data needed to truly understand the problem. This new knowledge allows for better prevention, more targeted interventions, and a more compassionate public understanding of a deeply challenging disorder.
Knowing that online addiction strikes a younger group with less mental health history, how must we radically change our outreach to find and help this hidden population before it’s too late?

Who REALLY Watches Porn? 4 Surprising Truths
Originally Published on November 4th, 2025 at 08:00 amWhen we think about who watches pornography, stereotypes often paint a simple, one-dimensional picture.
These assumptions, however, are largely based on older research that relied on self-report surveys, a method notoriously prone to bias when dealing with a stigmatized topic. What happens when you set aside what people say they do and instead look at what they actually do online?
A massive new study did just that. Using objective, anonymized web-tracking data from 1,933 individuals across five countries, researchers identified 392 pornography consumers, providing one of the most accurate and nuanced portraits of this group to date.
The results challenge many deeply held beliefs about age, gender, politics, and online behavior.
This article distills the four most counter-intuitive truths from this groundbreaking research, revealing a reality that is far more complex and fascinating than the stereotypes suggest.
1. Viewers Are Creatures of Habit, Not Explorers
The internet seems to offer an endless buffet of adult content, leading to the belief that pornography use is a relentless quest for novelty. The data, however, paints a picture not of explorers, but of creatures of habit.
The study found that consumption is highly concentrated on a few dominant platforms, such as Pornhub, Xvideos, and Xhamster.
The most surprising statistic revealed a strong sense of brand loyalty and routine. Approximately 46% of users visited only a single, unique adult website during the entire three-month study period.
This behavior suggests that for nearly half of all viewers, pornography is less about exploration and more about visiting a familiar, trusted source.
As the researchers note:
This suggests that pornography consumption is not as exploratory as assumed but rather characterized by routine engagement with familiar providers.
This finding is significant because it reframes consumption as a routine online habit, much like checking a favorite news site or social media platform, rather than a relentless quest for new stimulation.
2. It’s Not Just a Young Person’s Game
Conventional wisdom says porn is a young person’s fixation, a habit that fades with age.
The data shows this is simply not true.
Objective tracking reveals that pornography consumption is common across all age groups. It goes from young adulthood well into the 60s and beyond.
The data shows a clear trend, with consumption peaking among people in their 30s before seeing its most pronounced decline after age 60.
However, the study’s key takeaway is that these variations between most adult age groups aren’t large enough to be statistically significant. This means, for the most part, engagement remains remarkably stable throughout adulthood.

Pornography isn’t just a phenomenon of the “digitally native” youth. It’s an integrated part of online habits for a wide and diverse range of adults.
3. Political Ideology is Surprisingly Irrelevant
In a hyper-partisan world, it’s easy to assume our media habits, even private ones, fall along political lines. But when it comes to pornography, a person’s political ideology is surprisingly irrelevant.
When researchers compared who watches porn and non-watchers based on their self-reported political ideology on a scale from left to right, they found no statistically significant difference between the two groups.
In simple terms, knowing a person’s political leaning gives you no predictive power in guessing whether or not they consume pornography. The user base is ideologically diverse and spans the entire political spectrum.
But the research did uncover an interesting twist. While personal ideology didn’t matter, media consumption habits showed a small but statistically significant difference. The study found pornography users tended to have slightly more centrist and balanced partisan media diets compared to non-users.

4. The Gender Gap is More Complicated Than You Think
One stereotype the data confirms is men are the primary consumer of pornography.
But that’s where the simplicity ends.
Digging into the web-tracking data revealed crucial nuances, showing female engagement is “more substantial than previously estimated” and challenging the idea of pornography as an exclusively male domain. This was especially clear when looking at cross-country variations.
In Spain, for example, women constitute nearly 30% of pornography users.
The study hypothesizes this may be linked to the country’s significant progress in gender equality, such as being the first nation to create a Ministry of Equality in 2004 and the third to legalize same-sex marriage in 2005, suggesting cultural shifts can directly influence female consumption patterns.
The study also produced fascinating data on same-sex content.
It found that 16.5% of male users watched gay pornography. A figure significantly higher than the 5-10% of men who typically identify as gay or bisexual in surveys.
This complexity extends to lesbian content, which the study found was consumed by a higher percentage of male users (15.4%) than female users (9.4%), further challenging simple assumptions about consumption, gender, and sexual orientation.
Conclusion
The objective, behavioral data from this study makes one thing clear: the reality of pornography consumption is far more complex, habitual, and ideologically diverse than common stereotypes suggest.
It is a widespread digital behavior that cuts across demographics in ways we are only just beginning to understand.
As objective data continues to pull back the curtain on our private digital lives, what other deeply held assumptions about human behavior will be the next to fall?

4 Surprising Ways Cannabis Use Disorder Impacts the Brain
Originally Published on October 28th, 2025 at 08:00 amMore Than a Buzz, According to a Major New Study
As cannabis continues to be legalized for recreational and medical use across North America, public debate often centers on its benefits, risks, and social implications. This has become a public health priority. It’s sparking discussions about everything from tax revenue to addiction potential. Lost in the noise, however, is a more nuanced and critical question: what are the lasting, residual effects on the brain not just from using cannabis, but from developing a Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD)?
For years, research has been muddled by controversy. Some studies suggest significant cognitive decline. Others finding only minimal effects.
A major reason for this confusion is many studies lump together recreational users with those who have a clinical disorder. A new, large-scale meta-analysis published in the journal Addictive Behaviors cuts through this ambiguity by focusing specifically on individuals diagnosed with CUD.
This article distills the four most important takeaways from this major review. Here’s some clear, evidence-based answers on how Cannabis Use Disorder leaves a measurable mark on our cognitive abilities.
1. Cannabis Use Disorder Isn’t Just a Label—It’s a Critical Distinction
Much of the confusion around cannabis’s long-term cognitive effects comes from studies that don’t distinguish between recreational use and a clinical disorder. This new meta-analysis makes that distinction its central focus, and the results are revealing.
The core finding is that while recreational use may be associated with minimal or small deficits, Cannabis Use Disorder is linked to clear, moderate cognitive impairments.
The researchers draw a parallel to alcohol consumption. The cognitive impact seen in individuals with alcohol use disorder is significantly larger than what is observed in those who drink recreationally.
This distinction is the key that unlocks the rest of the study’s findings. Now that we’ve isolated the CUD population, the next question is: what exactly does this impairment look like?
Do you have enough hours for your LPC renewal? Are you in need of continuing education, but bored with the current offerings? Check out Dr. Weeks’ course on Cannabis Use Disorder, and other unique courses on her practice website.

2. The Damage Is Specific, Not Widespread
The cognitive impact of CUD isn’t a blunt, uniform fog across the entire brain. Instead, the meta-analysis shows that the impairments are concentrated in specific domains. The study found “small-to-moderate” impairments across several areas, with the largest deficits observed in five key domains:
- IQ: The most significant deficit found. It reflects a moderate impairment in overall cognitive reasoning and problem-solving abilities.
- Verbal Learning: The ability to learn and absorb new information presented through words. It manifests as an impairment making it harder to retain material from a lecture or meeting.
- Verbal Memory: The capacity to recall that learned verbal information later. A deficit can manifest as struggling to remember conversations or key details from something you’ve read.
- Working Memory: The mental “scratchpad” used for holding and manipulating information for short-term tasks. Impairment here makes it harder to follow multi-step instructions or perform mental calculations.
- Speed of Processing: How quickly you can perceive, process, and respond to information. A deficit can slow down reaction times and the ability to keep up in fast-paced conversations or environments.
To emphasize this specificity, the study also identified the cognitive domains that were least affected.
Among them were attention and verbal fluency; the ability to retrieve words from your mind. This targeted impact suggests a more complex mechanism than simple, widespread damage.
3. The Impact of Cannabis Use Disorder Is Comparable to “Harder” Drugs
In a finding that challenges longstanding public perception, the study reveals how the cognitive deficits from CUD stack up against those from other substance use disorders.
The research shows that the magnitude of the impairments in verbal memory and working memory for individuals with CUD is in a similar range to the deficits seen in people with alcohol, cocaine, and methamphetamine use disorders.
However, a critical distinction adds another layer of complexity.
One important difference is that CUD is associated with less diffuse cognitive deficits. While the depth of impairment in those specific memory-related areas is comparable to other substance use disorders, the overall breadth of cognitive damage appears to be narrower.
This directly challenges the common perception of cannabis as a relatively benign substance. Especially when its use escalates to the level of a disorder. The researchers highlight the importance of this finding for how the scientific and medical communities view the substance.
“The similitude of findings between substances confirms the importance of paying attention to individuals with a CUD when studying the residual cognitive effects of cannabis.”

4. It Presents a Surprising Scientific Mystery
The targeted nature of these cognitive deficits presents a fascinating paradox for neuroscientists.
The primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, Δ9-THC, acts on the brain’s CB1 receptors. From a biological standpoint, this is significant because, as the paper notes, CB1 receptors are “among the most abundant throughout the brain.”
Based on that fact, scientists would expect that chronic, heavy cannabis use would cause diffuse, widespread cognitive effects across many domains.
Yet, as this meta-analysis confirms, the effects are actually quite specific.
This discrepancy suggests the full story is more complex than we currently understand. The authors propose this paradox “indirectly suggests that other cannabinoid receptors than CB1 receptors are mediating the cognitive effects of cannabis,” pointing toward an important new direction for future research.
Conclusion: A Sobering Reminder in the Age of Legalization
This comprehensive meta-analysis sends a clear message: Cannabis Use Disorder is not a trivial condition.
It is linked to real, measurable, and moderate cognitive deficits in crucial areas like memory, processing speed, and overall IQ.
Furthermore, these deficits are not insignificant when compared to those associated with other well-known substance use disorders.
The study’s authors point to a pressing public health concern, noting that “the perceived risk associated with regular cannabis use has been declining in youths since the legalization of the substance.”
While the policy debates will surely continue, this research provides a sobering reminder that the conversation must include a clear-eyed view of the consequences that arise when use crosses the line into a disorder.
As the perception of risk declines, the critical public health challenge becomes clear: how do we effectively communicate the line between casual use and the measurable cognitive costs of a disorder?
