I've always applied a certain amount of research to the other fields. Usually it gets results. That everyone studying this topic is saying different things tells me more about the field of psychology than my own research methods. That's not surprising given that it doesn't even count as science in some places.

Back to the topic. Sure non-criminal, adults forgo emotions on the job after essentially being trained to do so. Probably learned it over time with other life experiences requiring the same thing. Yet, how did the younger one's learn to have no empathy or feelings? What exact path leads to other people's suffering exciting them or causing sexual arousal? What individual experience lead people to compulsively commit harm or deception against their own intentions?

Most of this stuff doesn't seem like it should pop out of nowhere. If it does, it was probably innate. Otherwise, it was learned through some kind of experience and what experiences cause these things to become habits? Quite debatable. There's too little, hard evidence presented on most sides of these things. People in my position could do better if we had some.

"Anyway, not sure why you would want to dabble in some other fields and expect the same results without equal level of efforts."

Nice fallacy and troll tactic given nobody said that. Unsurprising that this is also your first post. Goodbye, troll.
