Martina Bader

Martina Bader is a Guest Researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, focusing on personality psychology with emphasis on aversive traits, societal influences, and criminal behavior implications.

Her research interests include:

• Dark Triad personality structure and decomposition
• Personality-state measurement frameworks using latent state-trait theory
• Cross-cultural variations in personality traits
• Links between basic personality and criminal convictions
• Societal determinants of personality expression

Recent publications (2023-2025) in high-impact journals like PNAS and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology reveal trends in decomposing aversive personality constructs, analyzing large-scale societal data, and developing methodological innovations for personality assessment. Her work consistently integrates cross-national comparisons and real-world behavioral outcomes.
