  • Previous research primarily focused on direct associations between personality traits and problem behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a second-generation research agenda for understanding the role of personality in problem behavior.
  • To propose moderator and mediator hypotheses for future research.

Main Methods:

  • This article introduces a special issue, summarizing its contributions.
  • It outlines a theoretical framework for future empirical studies.

Main Results:

  • The proposed agenda expands beyond simple associations to explore conditional (moderator) and causal (mediator) relationships.
