However, research that sheds new light on either the prevalence of mental disorders among these perpetrators or the role of mental disorders in their violent behaviour has been rare. This is partly evidenced in the review by Theodorou and colleagues (<span>2024</span>) in this issue of CBMH, which found only 60 qualifying studies on family, mass shooter and terrorist perpetrators combined. Below, I outline several assumptions and challenges that may encumber scholarship in this area and then identify some promising avenues for future research.</p><p>Although mental illness is sometimes used as an independent variable in studies of mass murder–suicide—along with other individual characteristics such as age, sex, race, employment status and criminal record—research that is specifically designed to generate better understanding of perpetrators' mental state is rare.</p><p>One reason may be the assumption that all perpetrators must have had mental disorders due to the extreme nature of their crimes. If this were true, there would not be much more value in documenting the presence of this variable than in studying how many perpetrators breathed air; in both cases, the results would be self-evident and known in advance. There is a long history in which other acts of mass violence—including genocide and terrorism—were assumed to be the product of mental illness and psychopathology, because most people could not imagine anyone would do such things unless they were ‘crazy’ (Lankford, <span>2008</span>). However, as the National Council for Mental Wellbeing (<span>2019</span>) has wisely warned, it is not accurate that all ‘acts that seem incomprehensible to the average person are due to mental illness’ (pp. v–vi). Determining which deviant behaviours are commonly associated with mental disorders can only be determined through scientific inquiry.</p><p>The opposite assumption—that mental disorders are largely irrelevant to some types of mass murder–suicide (Atran, <span>2003</span>; McCauley, <span>2002</span>; Pape, <span>2005</span>; Skeem &amp; Mulvey, <span>2020</span>)—may inhibit research as well.

Higher Machiavellianism scores were similarly associated with cyberbullying, but there was no correlation at all between Machiavellianism and impulsivity scores.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Our findings add to the literature by showing that not only Dark Triad scale scores are associated with cyberbullying, but that difficulty in refraining from or controlling impulsive behaviours (dysfunctional impulsivity) may be a key component in this relationship. Given that our sample was of generally well-functioning people, our findings may not extend to those with serious cyberbullying problems. Yet, they provide avenues for identifying people at risk of such behaviours before problems become well-established and call for more nuanced approaches towards understanding and intervening with problematic cyberbullying.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47362,"journal":{"name":"Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cbm.2321","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139492285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
