Baptiste Subra
I study the causes and consequences of aggressive behavior. More precisely, my major theoretical interests is on the study of situational factors linked to aggression. More recently, I have been interested in the functional properties of aggression for individuals, and more specifically for narcissistic people. In another line of research, I try to shed light on the complex relation between alcohol and violence.
