Summary of research

Moral judgments, moral emotions, human-animal relationships

Research interests

Currently I am involved in the following scientific projects:
1. Moral judgment of harm and exploitation of animals- where I explore difference in judgments of harm done by humans to different types of animals: pets vs farm animals, eatable vs uneatable animals etc.
2. Moral parochialism- where I examine whether the moral judgment differs due to spatial and cultural distance between the judgment maker and moral transgressor.
3. Impact of threat on moral judgments – where my interests focus on the fact whether our moral judgments change as a result of different types of threats.

In the Identification with All Humanity Lab I have been working with Katarzyna Hamer and David Sparkman on the associations between multicultural experiences, IWAH and helping different groups.
