Biography

Kristopher Brazil is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University. His research employs an interdisciplinary framework combining evolutionary, developmental, and relationship perspectives to understand psychopathy and individual differences. The evolutionary perspective focuses on the possible functions of individual differences, while the developmental perspective examines how these differences develop due to environmental and biological factors. The relationship perspective locates individual differences within interpersonal contexts, highlighting their consequences. Dr. Brazil's primary research interest lies in psychopathy, where he conducts studies on the Dark Triad traits: psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism. His work also explores various domains such as personality traits, relationships, sex and gender differences, sexual aggression, antisocial behavior, and empathy, alongside quantitative statistical techniques like latent profile analysis and structural equation modeling.
