New York University psychology professor Pascal Wallisch and NYU graduate Nicole Leal recently conducted a study to determine what kind of music resonates with psychopaths, according to The Washington Post.
Perhaps it’s Eminem’s penchant for violent lyrics and apathetic attitude, but it turns out, Shady’s 2002 hit “Lose Yourself” scored high on the psychopath test.
More than 190 NYU psychology students participated in the study and were given questions that determined various levels of psychopathy. The students were asked to listen to a variety of songs — from classical to current Billboard Hot 100 hits — and rated them on a seven-point scale.
Other songs that scored high on the psychopath test included Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” and Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean.” Songs that scored low on the test were Dire Straits’ “Money for Nothing,” the country song Wayward Wind” and The Knack’s “My Sharona.”
Although the study hasn’t been published in a peer-reviewed journal, it was recently presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting, which hosted over 30,000 people.
Revisit “Lose Yourself” above (if you’re a psychopath).
… so the people liked the good songs better… valid study
Holy shit DX what a stupid fcking story. I’d rather read about Cardi B getting his asshole bleached. Which I’m sure he does, because he’s a man.
Makes sense, a lot of Eminem stans go psychopathic whenever someone disses their hero.
So your not a psychopath for listening to mumble rap? Okay then. Great study.
how do i fix a sticky keyboard? even though i always keep my fingers greasy, my keyboard is soooo sticky!
Well quit jacking off in front of the monitor to Your negativity.
Lubricate your keyboard with WD-40 and jack off with a condom from now on.
So what are Taylor Swift fans.
Lmao!!!!
Fuck School
Eminem’s music appeals to almost everyone according to record sales
No shit…Eminem portrays himself as a psycho and then has the audacity to hide behind the law.
Kyle!.. Negro please!
OK ….so like the word psychopath …it’s not used by medical professionals ….I think I got it….
Well, let’s admit it… but what about Three 6 Mafia – Walk Up To Your House ?
but how would they know which music resonates with psychopaths? first off… how are they classifying psychopaths?
this doesn’t makes sense.
This has to be the most flawed stupid ass study I’ve seen a while lmao
This was a waste of an article.
Yeah Right, just because he called Chuck D and B Real Gods.
Under a 1000 people isn`t really considered a valid study..
