An individual cannot be both. Psychopathy is caused by genetic factors such as a shrunken amygdala or altered grey matter in your brain while sociopathy is caused by social factors such as severe trauma. Sociopathy is most definitely not just a newer word for psychopathy, however individuals with either condition usually share a lot of the same charecterstics. Sociopaths are also more likely to be able to form meaningful relationships than psychopaths.

A sociopath, or a psychopath. They're the same thing; sociopath is just a newer name for psychopath.
