I am a researcher. My main research interests are focused on social, interpersonal, cognitive and affective correlates and consequences of the Dark Triad of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellanism and psychopathy. I am also interested in evolutionary psychology, person perception and social relations investigated with network analytical tools. You can visit my homepage here.
