Document Summary
Theodore adorno - key personality type - authoritarian personality. Theorized to be rigid and dogmatic in thinking, to separate their social world into strict categories of us and them, and then to believe strongly in the superiority of us and inferiority of them. As a result authoritarians were more likely to endorse and engage in prejudice and violence, particularly toward the them category. Michael ashton (brock university) developed the hexaco model of personality. Hexaco model - a six-factor theory that generally replicates the five factors of the ffm and adds one additional factor - honesty-humility. People who score high tend to be honest and modest. Hexaco tends to describe evil as heavily involving n excessive importance placed on the self, and none on the other. Dark triad describes a person who is socially destructive, aggressive and dishonest, and likely to commit harm in general: machiavellianism: A tendency to use people and to be manipulative and deceitful.
