Culture is one of the salient sources shaping social perception of mental disorders. The way that mentally disordered people are portrayed in media, TV, movies and pop culture reflects in common beliefs and social attitudes toward them. Undoubtedly, psychopathy falls within the realm of these disorders, the cultural depiction of which is increasingly presented to the mass audience. This article endeavors to explore whether the portrayal of psychopaths in modern culture aligns with scientific perspectives and research on psychopathic personality traits. Drawing on a review of pertinent research, the analysis delves into the relationship between cultural representations and scientific understanding. Additionally, it highlights the impact of cultural influences on public knowledge of psychopathy. The conclusions derived from this analysis could prove valuable not only in the exploration of the interplay between science, media, and society, but also in stimulating further inquiry into the distinct portrayal of psychopathy evident in cultural contexts.

Jednym z podstawowych źródeł kształtujących społeczną percepcję zaburzeń psychicznych jest kultura. Sposób, w jaki osoby z zaburzeniami psychicznymi przedstawiane są w mediach, telewizji, filmie czy popkulturze, znajduje swoje odbicie w obiegowych przekonaniach i społecznych postawach wobec nich. Do zaburzeń, z których kulturowym obrazem najczęściej spotyka się masowy odbiorca, niewątpliwie należy psychopatia. W niniejszym artykule podjęto się poszukiwania odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jakim stopniu wizerunek psychopaty obecny we współczesnej kulturze pokrywa się z perspektywą naukową i badaniami nad osobowością psychopatyczną. Analizę oparto na przeglądzie badań weryfikujących ten związek. Wskazano również na problematykę wpływu kultury na tworzenie się wiedzy potocznej na temat psychopatii. Wnioski płynące z przeprowadzonej analizy mogą się okazać przydatne zarówno w rozważaniach nad relacją nauka-media-społeczeństwo, jak i stanowić inspirację do dalszych poszukiwań badawczych dotyczących specyfiki obrazu osobowości psychopatycznej, którego nośnikiem jest kultura.
