#' Conversational Dominance and Psychopathy
#'
#' Data from an experiment performed on American college students. Students were observed conversing for 10 minutes and summary
#' data was recorded of the conversational dynamics. Pictures of the students were then rated by observers for personality
#' characteristics. The Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale is used to assess subclinical psychopathy of the students, and
#' the students were also subjected to a prisoners' dilemma.
#'
#' This data is the combination of the data sets from two papers. For ease of use in classroom setting, median_income was imputed
#' for students with missing data. This imputation is strictly for pedagogy.
#'
#' From the authors: "The determinants of conversational dominance are not well understood. We used videotaped triadic interactions among unacquainted same-sex American college students to test predictions drawn from the theoretical distinction between dominance and prestige as modes of human status competition."
#'
#' From the authors' second paper: "Recent evidence suggests that psychopathy is a trait continuum. To test this, we focus on a ubiquitous real-life source of conditional behaviour: the expected relational value of social partners, both in terms of their quality and the likely quantity of future interactions with them."
