Description:
Secrets and Betrayal often go hand-in-hand, creating complex emotional and relational turmoil. Secrets erode trust within a relationship. They create a sense of deception and dishonesty, leading to emotional distress for the person keeping the secrets, and for those who become aware of them. Betrayal involves the breach of a trust, confidence, or agreement leading to moral and psychological conflict. Betrayal can cause significant emotional pain, including feelings of anger, sadness, hurt, and trauma. In this webinar, which will apply to both professional and personal situations, we’ll delve into the psychology of who is most likely to disclose sensitive secrets and commit betrayal. Further, we’ll discuss triggers, dispositions, and processes related to illicit secret disclosure and betrayal; and learn how these factors cluster and interact with each other, including in long term betrayal.

He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and chapters and earned the Early Career Award from the Western Psychological Association. He was awarded grants from prestigious agencies such as the National Science Foundation and Army Research Laboratory to research topics such as secret disclosure, phishing attacks, and cybersecurity. Historically, his research has focused on the differentiation of the Dark Triad (Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism) and Dark Tetrad (Dark Triad + sadism) of personality, publishing influential papers on their overlap and distinctiveness, with a special focus on the vexing trait of Machiavellianism. He has also developed differential models of betrayal, long vs. short-term deception, organizational harm, and destructive leadership. Most importantly, Dr. Jones is developing interventions that are designed to mitigate Dark Triad harm, as can be seen in his TEDx talk here. Dr. Jones is also establishing a consulting presence to implement evidence-based solutions for dealing with Dark Triad traits. Outside of his interest in dark personalities, Dr. Jones also authored a forthcoming book, “Emophilia: The Science of Serial Romance,” with Oxford University Press. which discusses the propensity to fall in love easily and often.
