It really depends on the person you're asking, as a sociopath and a psychopath can be seen, classified, and differentiated in several different ways. If you want a hard, to-the-book definition, a sociopath is one who lacks most semblance of morality, or conscience, for that matter. They often lack most emotion, but this isn't always the case. A psychopath is a figure with an unstable mental state, with similar mannerisms to a sociopath. Both are unable to hold long-term relationships, and most often only care for themselves. Psychopaths and sociopaths can integrate in several different ways, as they show a lot of the same "quirks." Psychopaths are usually just seen as giggling, crazy maniacs, but the truth is psychopaths are very similar to sociopaths.

Again, this all matters on who you ask, but I find sociopathy and psychopathy to be similar, in a general term.
