Research summary
AI-generated

Andrew J Castillo's work focuses on personality psychology and quantitative research methods, particularly around measuring 'dark' personality traits such as sadism and other socially aversive characteristics. Recent papers examine the statistical structure of personality questionnaires (like the Short Dark Tetrad) and methodological issues in regression analysis, and also touch on creativity and imagination related to negative or pathological content. This research is more aligned with psychology and methodology than traditional arts and humanities scholarship.
