Robyn Mooney

Dr. Robyn Mooney is a Lecturer in Forensic Psychology at the University of Derby's College of Health, Psychology and Social Care. Her research examines psychological traits and social dynamics, with particular focus on Dark Triad characteristics (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy) and their impact on interpersonal relationships and attitudes toward violence.

Research interests center on forensic psychology applications including:

• Psychological profiling of criminal behavior
• Impact of personality disorders on social cognition
• Media influences on gender-based violence perceptions
• Conspiracy belief systems and relational dynamics

Her publications demonstrate consistent investigation into how personality pathologies manifest in social contexts, with recent work exploring connections between antisocial traits and intimate partner violence attitudes. The research spans educational, clinical, and forensic contexts with methodological diversity across experimental and survey-based approaches.
