Evidence? I think there is an instinctual nature to it, but I think they're aware.

I have no evidence, sorry. There are some studies of sociopaths, who IIRC are usually thought to be aware of what they're doing, but I don't know how relevant that is (is sociopathology a "spectrum disorder", really just a personality dimension; or is it an organic brain dysfunction?)
