Nicholas S. Holtzman
I am originally from Minnesota, and I also lived in Tennessee for five years during my adolescence. I attended Loyola University New Orleans for my undergraduate education, and then I attended Washington University in St. Louis for my Ph.D. in social/personality psychology.
Research in my lab is primarily concerned with manifestations of socially aversive personality traits (e.g., narcissism). For instance, I have investigated language cues and physical cues associated with narcissism. I am also interested in the origins and development of such traits.
