Delroy Paulhus

Delroy Paulhus is a Canadian psychologist best known for his research on personality and social behavior. He developed concepts like "dark personality traits," which include narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. These traits reflect a certain level of manipulative and self-centered behavior in individuals. Paulhus also created the "Paulhus Deception Scales," which measure how people lie and deceive in various contexts. His work contributes to our understanding of how personality influences behaviors and social interactions, helping researchers and practitioners better assess and address interpersonal dynamics.
