Paulhus, Delroy (psychologist)

Delroy Paulhus is a Canadian psychologist known for his research on personality traits and social behavior. He developed the concepts of "narcissism," "Machiavellianism," and "psychopathy," which are often referred to as the "Dark Triad." These traits describe various manipulative and self-centered behaviors in individuals. Paulhus's work helps us understand how these traits influence interpersonal relationships and social dynamics. His research provides insight into both negative personality characteristics and their impact on people's lives, contributing significantly to the fields of psychology and personality assessment.
