Abstract
The relationship between temperament, personality traits, and childhood experience impedes the systematic integration of findings on how both individual and situational factors construct the likelihood of developing psychopathy. Based on individual differences in reactivity and self-regulation, one's temperament is determined by their biological make-up, which has been shaped over time by experience and inheritance. When referring to persistent patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, personality is a broader concept than temperament and includes abilities, values, beliefs, morals, and social cognitions. Increasing knowledge of temperament highlights a central understanding of personality refined during infancy and childhood. Meanwhile, according to existing studies, exposure to childhood maltreatment can be thought of important risk factor that raises the likelihood of a more severe manifestation of psychopathic tendencies in those who are vulnerable. This paper reviews the significance of all three factors during different stages of life to prompt the constitution of such mental disorders.
