Antisocial Personality in Context: Dispositional and Situational Factors Influence How “Dark” Traits Predict Behavior

This symposium showcases three sets of novel findings demonstrating the importance of incorporating context into research on antisocial personality traits. Findings demonstrate how dispositional (e.g., cognitive abilities) and situational and contextual factors (e.g., naturalistic vs. lab setting; successful vs. failed goal pursuit) influence how antisocial personality traits predict behavior.
