  With an interest in psychopathology and individual differences, my current work focuses on a set of aversive personality traits known collectively as the Dark Triad: psychopathy; narcissism; and Machiavellianism.  These traits are associated with exploitation and manipulation.  My PhD project aims to shed further light on the Dark Triad within a non-clinical context, and expand on the understanding of the interpersonal relationships between those high on Dark Triad traits and their targets of manipulation.
