Psychology asocial fix

Description
Fixes the use of the wrong word in the psychology mod.

The antisocial mental state is now called asocial, no more accidentally arresting someone that's sad because the mod lied to you about what they were about to do.

That isn't any more info. The only reason I can think that anything would break is if you have another mod that edits the mental states from the psychology mod, but even then, one should just overwrite the other. Just make sure that Harmony is installed and loaded first, and that the psychology mod is also installed and loaded before this mod.

I am from Canada and people use it incorrectly here too. I recognize that some people are helping it to become a casual definition of the word antisocial, but the word antisocial as meaning against society is a much more established definition and it is both legally and for science purposes important (if not also just so that we can understand each other when we speak) that we keep these words separate. Also, for a psychology mod, it's weird that they wouldn't use the psychological definition as accepted and published by the APA. You'd think after doing enough research to include the various traits and categories of the OCEAN-PI and other inventories that they would have come across the psychological definition of antisocial.

No, this isn't a UK-US split, this is just a recent trend in language that I hope dies because its a trend of people seeing a word and trying to assume a definition based on the context and getting it entirely wrong. Anti is the opposition of pro, whereas the prefix a is a term that negates the what follows. Antisocial means you are against society, if you act antisocially it means that your actions are actively working against society as a whole, whether it is by disrupting peace, spreading dissent, inciting violence, etc, especially when it violates the rights of others. Asocial, as the negation of social, means you are not being social—i.e. you are avoiding social situations.

I don't think the mod lied, exactly, just that it's an issue of vernacular English. Anti-social doesn't mean the same thing in say, the US, as it does in the UK.

UK has orders against offenses categorized as anti-social behavior, where in the US similar offenses fall under simple misdemeanors (and a lot of them aren't criminal offenses here either because of the 1st Amendment). In the US, anti-social is often used interchangeably with asocial in casual discussion, so I'm going to assume the mod author of psychology was using the US definition.

Nice mod for those across the pond who thought their pawn was going to start harassing other pawns or something, though.
