Sadism in the workplace involves cruel behavior for pleasure, often overlooked by untrained leaders who misinterpret it as motivation.
Between 2000 and 2021, the top five most mentioned keyword-topics in personality psychology research were "B5 Constructs," " Emotion," "Internalizing," "Health/Well-being," and " Dark Tetrad." Psychologists, it seems, are no longer just mapping out the traits that help us thrive, but also probing the darker impulses that can unravel relationships, communities, and even societies. You may be familiar with the " Dark Triad," a cluster of three socially aversive traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.
