Much of our recent work has focused on the role of personality and individual differences in a variety of aggressive or other antisocial behaviors. For example, we are exploring various dark personality traits (e.g., psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, sadism) in the context of relational aggression, cyber aggression, academic misconduct, and political extremism. We also study a range of social-cognitive and affective factors (e.g., dysfunctional anger, empathy, social anxiety, adult attachment, self-esteem, emotion regulation, impulsivity, moral disengagement) relevant to morally transgressive behaviors. We recently started the first in what is expected to be a series of studies examining the role of peer victimization in college student mental health and well-being... We expect to have 1 open position for a USM psychology major who is interested in gaining research experience to begin in the Fall 2024 term. Find more information about how to apply here...
