S3E5｜V是不是psychopath — 英国一间大学学者的分析

原文链接 ：June 2019 - Killing Eve: Is Villanelle r... wlv.ac.uk

划重点：whilst Villanelle’s behaviours are clearly antisocial and outside what most would classify as normal behaviours, it might not be enough to clinically classify her as a psychopath.

这是第二季结束后的分析：V有各种psychopatic行为，但依然不足以证明V就是psychopath。

另外文中提到，目前psychopath的研究以及测试体系都是基于男性群体，对女性psychopath的研究少之又少，因此男性psychopath的特征是否能套用在女性身上，目前仍然未知。

因此我们不能假设V就是psychopath，她的情感感知能力及深度远远低于常人，从而否认她去寻亲的动机以及对母亲恨意的合理性。

再来一段关于psychopath与sociopath特征的对比，感觉V更贴近sociopath:

Psychopaths, in general, have a hard time forming real emotional attachments with others. Instead, they form artificial, shallow relationships designed to be manipulated in a way that most benefits the psychopath. People are seen as pawns to be used to forward the psychopath’s goals. Psychopaths rarely feel guilt regarding any of their behaviors, no matter how much they hurt others.

But psychopaths can often be seen by others as being charming and trustworthy, holding steady, normal jobs. Some even have families and seemingly-loving relationships with a partner. While they tend to be well-educated, they may also have learned a great deal on their own.

When a psychopath engages in criminal behavior, they tend to do so in a way that minimizes risk to themselves. They will carefully plan criminal activity to ensure they don’t get caught, having contingency plans in place for every possibility.

Sociopaths, in general, tend to be more impulsive and erratic in their behavior than their psychopath counterparts. While also having difficulties in forming attachments to others, some sociopaths may be able to form an attachment to a like-minded group or person. Unlike psychopaths, most sociopaths don’t hold down long-term jobs or present much of a normal family life to the outside world.

When a sociopath engages in criminal behavior, they may do so in an impulsive and largely unplanned manner, with little regard for the risks or consequences of their actions. They may become agitated and angered easily, sometimes resulting in violent outbursts. These kinds of behaviors increase a sociopath’s chances of being apprehended.
