Summary:

"This Handbook provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the Dark Triad personality traits, namely narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy, which have dominated recent research on the human personality. Bringing together an array of expert authors, the Research Handbook on the Dark Triad outlines theories and methodologies that have been used to assess the Dark Triad's characteristics and predict important life outcomes such as psychopathology, job performance, educational outcomes and sociosexuality. State-of-the-art research is analysed within its relevant cultural context, presenting a cost and benefit analysis in order to advance our understanding of the Dark Triad while incorporating recommendations for interventions and avenues for future inquiry. Importantly, contributing authors adopt a balanced approach to research on the Dark Triad, focusing on the traits' maladaptive and adaptive qualities and advocating for ways in which we can curtail its potential for harm. The Research Handbook on the Dark Triad is invaluable reading for students and researchers in specialist fields of psychology, such as personality, social, educational and organisational. Its rigorous insights are also of interest to professionals and practitioners working in occupational psychology, as well as the mental health and wellbeing sectors"-- Provided by publisher.
