Abstract
Numerous studies across several disciplines have described the genetic and environmental factors that can lead to the emergence of individual psychopathic personality traits and the psychological characteristics and behaviors of criminal psychopaths. Over the past three decades, an extensive body of research has also documented the effects of “functional” psychopaths in business and public‐sector organizations. Apart from some research on bullying and sexual harassment in colleges and universities, however, there are no published studies on the prevalence or effects of psychopathic behavior in the higher education sector. An examination of the causes of psychopathy and an evaluation of its manifestation in institutions of higher learning highlights the main consequences of this behavior and lead to practical suggestions for addressing and preventing it.
