MORALITY

My research on morality concerns…

(1) understanding how people form moral judgments of right and wrong,

(2) understanding how people perceive others as moral or immoral,

(3) understanding the consequences of moral disagreements and misguided moral perceptions, with emphasis on political polarization, and

(4) addressing constraints of dominant theories and research paradigms in moral psychology.
