Douglas B. Samuel studies personality traits and personality disorders, focusing on how normal personality dimensions (like the Big Five and HEXACO models) relate to psychopathology and mental health treatment outcomes. His work also addresses how personality and psychopathology are measured and classified, including efforts like the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP), a framework for organizing mental health conditions along dimensions rather than discrete categories. This research is relevant to students interested in psychological assessment, clinical psychology, and the science of measuring personality and mental disorders.
