Research Interests
Broadly speaking, I am interested in moral judgment, studied as a social psychological phenomenon.
Much of my research focuses on situational influences on judgments of the morality or immorality of
other people's actions. Currently, Dr. Geoffrey Goodwin and I are researching how people determine the differential
"value" of different human lives when, for instance, scarce donor organs must be allocated. I also have projects
(in various stages of completion) related to moral credentials, different motivations for punishing wrongdoers,
religious differences in beliefs about charitable acts, and circumstances
in which acts are judged as less wrong when they are committed by minority social groups. For more detailed information
about any of my projects, please feel free to contact me by email.
Publications
I do not currently have any publications. I have several papers that I am currently working on
(see above: "Research Interests"), and I will post them here when they have been submitted to
journals.
