Psychopaths may lack a moral compass from "summary" of Psychopathy by Andrea L. Glenn,Adrian Raine

Psychopaths are often characterized by their apparent lack of a moral compass. This means that they may not possess the same innate sense of right and wrong that guides the behavior of most individuals. Without this internal moral compass, psychopaths are more likely to engage in antisocial and harmful behaviors without experiencing feelings of guilt or remorse. In the absence of a moral compass, psychopaths may be more likely to prioritize their own desires and interests above the well-being of others. This can lead them to manipulate and exploit those around them for personal gain, without regard for the consequences of their actions. As a result, psychopaths may be more willing to engage in deceptive, dishonest, and even violent behavior in order to achieve their goals. The lack of a moral compass may also contribute to the impaired empathy and emotional detachment commonly observed in psychopathic individuals. Without a strong moral foundation to guide their interactions with others, psychopaths may struggle to understand or care about the emotions and experiences of those around them. This can further isolate them from forming meaningful connections with others and contribute to their tendency towards callousness and disregard for the feelings of others.
  1. The absence of a moral compass is a defining feature of psychopathy that sets individuals with this personality disorder apart from the general population. This lack of internal guidance can lead to a range of negative outcomes for both the psychopath and those around them, making it essential to understand and address this fundamental aspect of psychopathic behavior.
