Evaluate the drafted changes

[edit]

This addition is very informative and well written with a few minor grammatical issues. There are proposed revisions in bold below. Please make your own decision on any changes as they may not be appropriate for the context of the article. They are only suggestions. Also, there are a lot of terms used which may not be fully understood, so I would add links that would help the reader find definitions. For example, words like psychopathy, disinhibition, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and gender differences, could be linked to other wikipedia pages for clarification of meaning. These words shown in blue below are linked to the respective wikipedia page for your reference. The last comment I have is that I think this newly created paragraph could be combined with the first two paragraphs on the original page. I did skim the resources which support your information as far as I can tell which is really good. The sources are reputable as well. Overall this is a really good update.


Psychopathy is a personality disorder of affective, interpersonal, and behavioral dimensions that begin in childhood and manifest as aggressive actions in early or late adolescence. Childhood trauma affects vulnerability to different forms of psychopathology and traits associated with it. Disinhibition mediates the relationship between physical abuse and two components of psychopathy. Sexual abuse is directly correlated with the social deviation factor, and physical abuse is directly correlated with the affective interpersonal factor. Gender differences have also been observed in psychopathy. For example, psychopathic antisocial personality traits are more noticeable in males while histrionic personality traits are more evident in females. In addition, women are more likely to experience internalizing psychopathology than men.
