Study Shows Pop Songs Most Loved By Psychopaths
POP SONGS MOST LOVED BY PSYCHOPATHS – One would think that psychopaths would enjoy music that fits the “psychopath” description.
However, a study revealed that the stereotypical perceptions of grungy death metal and rap being frowned upon by conservative society is far from the truth.
Back in 2017, a Psychologist from Oxford conducted a study where 200 people listened to 260 different songs. But, the interesting part of the song was the link between the participants’ psychopath scores and their music tastes.
Instead, the study revealed that Blackstreet’s 1996 R&B classic “No Diggity” and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” were enjoyed the most by people with the highest psychopath test scores. Admittedly, Eminem’s Lose Yourself is a rap song, but, the lyrics and it’s intentions were meant to motivate people.
Meanwhile, the songs enjoyed by the least psychopathic people were “My Sharona” and the hit song “Titanium”. Furthermore, the study by an article from the Guardian stated that around 1% of the population meets a description of a psychopath.
The lead researcher of the study, Pascal Wallisch stated that: “The beauty of this idea is you can use it as a screening test without consent, cooperation or maybe even the knowledge of the people involved”.
However, it’s important to note that the study merely tested the participants’ tendency to being a psychopath through the tests. Still, Wallisch believed that people with psychopathic tendencies poses a potential problem when given a position of power.
“The ethics of this are very hairy, but so is having a psychopath as a boss, and so is having a psychopath in any position of power”
