Psychopaths are pleasure seekers. Regret for themselves perhaps, but not shame or remorse. Low or non-existent anxiety... high excitement.
Sociopaths have no remorse or shame either, they have regret... but their anxiety is very high as well as their excitement, and they're more prone to rage and less calculating. That's the way I see it.
Talk to one that has been incarcerated or institutionalized. They express shame and remorse but it is only for them selves, none for society.
Well it could possibly be shame but remorse tends to be for others by definition.

Have you read that psychopathy is more genetic and sociopathy is more environment?
