Psychopathy and Sociopathy in Antisocial Personality Disorder: a Systematic Review of the recent literature on risk factors.

The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the possible risk factors that can lead to the onset of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). In order to achieve this, a Systematic Review has been done, with main focus on the literature of the past 5 years (2020-2025), to retrieve the 11 articles this paper in based one. These studies cover a range of predictors that vary from environmental (cultural, clinical, socio-demographic, psychosocial...) to genetic (neurobiological, behavioral systems...). Following the results, the discussion shifts on the debate about Psychopathy and Sociopathy: two terms used to refer to antisocial personalities in the past decades, one focused on genetic components, and the other focused on epigenetic aspects, respectively.
