Dr. Woodworth is a specialist in the study of the "dark triad", a collection of psychological traits, such as psychopathy, that is responsible for criminal behaviour and numerous types of social and personal exploitation. His recent work focuses on, among other things, detection of deception in the communications of psychopaths, including social media.
