But someone who has psychopathic tendencies, lying and telling the truth just as easily. As a child growing berbohongnya talent around the age of three to four years - they also develop the capacity for empathy.

But researchers mengungkapan that an individual's aggressive and antisocial personality disorder do not experience these developments, so they have no moral guidance.

Traumatic experiences and lack of contact with adults can be a trigger that can be blamed.

Lie That's OK
The reason why a person becomes a psychopath has been discussed at a conference entitled "Psychopathy and the Problem of Evil" in Sheffield.

Dr Sean Spence of the University of Sheffield, who headed the conference, to find if the area of the frontal lobe of the brain is more active when someone is lying than when they were gifted truthful. Spence will do some research on neural activity that is connected with the activities of lies.

Dr Spence said: "When we lie, there is a part of us that do not want to manipulate the other or even take advantage of that part. But in psychopathic individuals, such activity can not we find that a lie is a reasonable thing for them. not even a doubt for the moment to do it. "

All this also affected adults who do not provide a sense of empathy when they were kids so that psychopathic individuals can not learn the examples given are often adults, and trigger the development of an aggressive AntiSocial personality disorder.

"If they had experienced sexual harassment or violence, they would never touch with the feelings of empathy," says Dr. Spence who stressed if 'good parenting' is an important issue to prevent the development of these abnormalities.


"Even if someone who had experienced sexual harassment, but at least they had good relations with adults, the trauma will not make them develop into a crime."
Diet and Body Imaging

Conference led by Professor Adrian Raine, a psychologist from the University of California, said if he was involved one group of children aged three years who underwent a diet, exercise and underwent cognitive simulation in research.

At the age of 11 years, they showed increased brain activity while undergoing a brain scan of reading (the reading of the brain) and at the age of 23 years approximately 64% of those who did not undergo the program proved to have a criminal record.

Professor Raine said: "This is not a silver bullet to solve the problems of crime and violence, but I think this is one trigger of criminality. Behavior of an individual's family is growing seedlings for crimes that are often seen her early life of individuals. "

Dr Spence added that the influence of alcohol and drugs also triggered brain damage that causes psychopathic behavior. But there are also individuals who do not show signs of psychopathic behavior even do the nasty in an unusual situation or outside their control.
