Paulhus, Delroy

Delroy Paulhus is a psychological researcher known for studying personality traits and social behavior. His work often focuses on concepts like manipulativeness, deception, and self-presentation. One of his well-known contributions is the development of the "Dark Triad," which describes three socially undesirable personality traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. Paulhus's research helps us understand how these traits influence people's behavior in personal, social, and professional contexts, shedding light on how individuals might manipulate or deceive others and the underlying motivations behind such actions.
