The general notion of women, who are usually regarded as caregivers and nurturers, can kill in cold blood is difficult to accept in Indian society. Despite the belief that murders are mostly male-perpetrated, women are often also culprits, killing with the same heartlessness as any male killer. As is the case with other aspects of life, it is often seen that the motivations of women killers are different from their male peers. While many male criminals are driven by sadism, sex, violence and lust, women's motivations are found to be mostly economic in nature. Predominantly many Motives are common, to both genders are greed and mental imbalance.

The study will help to prevent / handle such women from committing such offences by Knowing the psychology and motive behind a criminal mind.

In this article, the author examines the influence of expressionism on the film industry in the period 1933-2005. Through the prism of the "donated" expressionist cinema art of the 1920s. stories about wax figures, one can detect the development of the cultural demands of society in the above period. The most significant conclusions of the study: a) after the masterpiece of Paul Leni in 1924, cinema art returns to what it tried to get away from - to “the stories of a mentally ill person, left alone with a hostile world trying to break him”; b) if earlier plots were built around "dolls", the mystery of which is in their visual identity to people, then over time the fantasy of scriptwriters and directors began to demand their more complete identification - this is reflected in the tendency to deepen the demonization of the plot in the "man-doll" paradigm. And if at first a doll was made from a dead person, then in the 2000s it was made from a living person, thereby increasing the tendency towards sadism and cruelty on the screen; c) in almost every film there are codes of expressionism: the antinomy of "us-them", "light-darkness", "chronotope of the loop", a farce (fair, brothel), the motive of all-consuming fire; d) in every decade, the aesthetics, the philosophy of expressionism and the realities contemporary to directors are mutually enriched. The trend towards mutual enrichment also occurs at the level of genres (the sum of expressionist techniques in cinema - and slasher).

The article is devoted to the analysis of the specifics of the artistic representation of the image of the doctorcharlatan in the stories of A. Chekhov, M. Zoshchenko, Lu Sin and V. Shalamov. The article demonstrates that in the humorous stories of A. Chekhov and M. Zoshchenko the phenomenon of «charlatans from medicine» is presented in an ironic mode, when writers create many comic, farcical and vaudeville plots, in which illiterate doctors try to treat stupid common patients unsuccessfully; in the works of Lu Sin and V. Shalamov, this topic is presented in a fundamentally different way: they express the tragedy of a person who has become a hostage of political and social upheavals. Theauthors distinguish three main plot invariants in the medical discourse of writers: plots in which the motive of «drug» is realized – a pseudo-drug used by charlatans for treatment (from farcical and comically absurd in the works of Chekhov and Zoshchenko to senselessly inhuman, associated with motives of blood and death in the works of Shalamov and Lu Sin), plots in which the motive of «the executioner and the victim» is presented, accentuating the barbaric and sadistic methods of treatment used by «charlatans from medicine» and plots where the subject of the image becomes the emotional deprivation of a doctor or pseudo-doctor, a kind of «anesthesia of the heart «, presented in a comic version by Zoshchenko and Chekhov and in a tragic version by Shalamov and Lu Sin. The author comes to the conclusion that doctors M. Zoshchenko and A. Chekhov, in their executioner incarnation, are so naively simple-minded that they are not frightening, but comical and perform their «unconscious butchery» without malicious intent, or out of fear to admit their professional incompetence, or being absolutely sure of their own infallibility, and sick victims lose their martyr's halo, they are equated with doctors in terms of the narrowness of their horizons, and therefore their suffering causes not compassion and sympathy, but laughter. The charlatan healers of Lu Sin embody the tragic hypostasis of butchery, perceiving their healing «torture by fire and blood» as loyalty to barbaric ancient traditions and mythological customs, Shalamov's doctors are sophisticated sadists, their deliberate butchery is based on the awareness of the inviolability of their sacred status, the victims are not treated, but exposed, so they perceive their torment and suffering outside the ethical paradigm and feel their butchery as a creative act, receiving aesthetic pleasure from the process of «medical butchering» and from the awareness of their chosenness and the right to decide human destinies.

AbstractLocation-based on-line dating applications are a popular tool for initiating short and long-term relationships. Besides seeking for partners, people use these applications for a myriad of other reasons. We investigated how the Dark Tetrad of personality, controlling for sex, age, and trolling tendencies, related to different motives for using Tinder. Current or former Tinder users (N = 216) completed online scales for Tinder use motivations, trolling, sadism, and the Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy). Using Tinder for acquiring sexual experience was related to being male and being high in psychopathy. Psychopathy was positively correlated with using Tinder to distract oneself from other tasks (e.g., procrastination). Higher Machiavellianism and being female were related to peer pressure as a Tinder use motivation. Using Tinder for acquiring social or flirting skills had a negative relationship with narcissism, and positive relationship with Machiavellianism. Finally, Machiavellianism was also a significant, positive predictor of Tinder use for social approval and to pass the time. Results indicate that individuals high in Machiavellianism use Tinder for a number of utilitarian reasons, whereas the main motive for high psychopathy individuals is hook-up for casual sex.
