I am a social-personality psychologist and a researcher. From 2014 till the end of 2015 I worked at the Institute of Psychology at University of Bern in Switzerland. I received habilitation in 2020 and currently work as an Associate Professor at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland. I am a member of the Executive Board of European Association of Personality Psychology.
Research interests:
My main research interests are social, cognitive and affective correlates and consequences of narcissism (and other Dark triad traits: Machiavellianism and subclinical psychopathy), but I am also interested in many other topics: social perception, self-insight and its accuracy, 'quiet ego’, emotional intelligence, self-presentation, evolutionary and intercultural psychology. I endorse a dynamic perspective on personality and researching personality „in action” (person-situation interaction). Finally, I am interested in statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal, round-robin, multilevel, and network data. If you are interested in collaboration, do not hesitate to contact me.
