Psychopaths have emotional deficits, such as lack of guilt, remorse, and empathy. However, research shows there are two types of psychopaths: primary psychopaths, who do not have strong feelings to emotional cues, and secondary psychopaths, who do have strong feelings but "numb" them as a coping mechanism to previous trauma (Craig et al., 2020; Moreira et al., 2020).
