University of Nevada, Reno President Brian Sandoval hosts Associate Professor of Management Dan Jones, Ph.D. Jones’ research primarily focuses on how toxic personality traits predict unethical behavior across different environments, and he has spent years developing the construct of emophilia, the dispositional tendency to fall in love easily and often.
During the episode, Sandoval and Jones discuss the value of teaching social and personality psychology to business students and what the dark triad of personality traits consists of. They also explore Jones’ 2024 TEDx Reno Talk, “How to recognize a master manipulator.” In addition, the conversation covers Jones’ research on emophilia and how emophiliacs navigate relationships, break-ups, online dating and more.
