đź“š Lecture: "Baby Psychopaths? The Childhood Roots of the Dark Triad"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Sarah Lynch
Join us for a fascinating evening with Dr. Sarah Lynch as she unpacks the early origins of personality traits often associated with the Dark Triad—manipulation, fearlessness, and emotional coldness. While it's easy to think of these traits as something that emerge later in life, they can actually begin to take shape in early childhood in subtle ways that might surprise you.
Dr. Lynch's research focuses on callous-unemotional (CU) traits in young children, characterized by low guilt and empathy, and fearlessness. In this insightful lecture, she will explore how these traits provide vital insights into the development of empathy and social interaction. She will discuss how factors like caregiving, family dynamics, and peer relationships influence the trajectory of emotional development.
Dr. Sarah Lynch holds a PhD in developmental science from Boston University and is currently teaching at Harvard. Her work emphasizes resilience and intervention, showing that children with CU traits are not doomed but deserving of support tailored to their unique needs.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the science behind these often-misunderstood traits and how we can reshape perceptions.
