Research Interests
My research interests mainly fall in the realm of personality. Specifically, I am interested in the study of darker personality traits (e.g., narcissism) as well as aggression. I am also interested in methodologies used to understand implicit personality such as conditional reasoning tests. I use these general interests to provide a framework for understanding how these personality characteristics relate to counterproductive work behaviors.
