Research summary
AI-generated

Sara Konrath studies personality and social psychology, with a focus on empathy, narcissism, and prosocial behaviors such as kindness and charitable giving. Her work examines how these traits relate to well-being, health, and life outcomes, and how digital technology and media shape them, often using large surveys and measurement tools she develops. Recent projects include studying empathy in relation to burnout, developing brief scales for narcissism, and examining how prosocial behavior links to longer-term outcomes.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
