Susan C. South studies how personality traits and personality disorders relate to romantic relationships, mental health, and functioning across the adult lifespan. Her work combines longitudinal, genetically-informed (twin) study designs and psychometric methods to examine how personality and psychopathology interact with relationship satisfaction, health, and behavior over time. This research area is relevant to students interested in clinical psychology, personality assessment, and close relationships research.
Publication output has gradually declined from a peak of around 11-15 papers per year in 2017-2021 to fewer than 10 per year in recent years, though 2026 shows an apparent uptick likely reflecting preprints and forthcoming work.
