I study how emotion and reason shape moral judgments—who we see as good or bad, right or wrong, deserving of praise or blame—and how these judgments differ depending on whether we're evaluating ourselves or others. I also study reputation management: what people say and do to appear trustworthy and morally good. My work is motivated by questions such as: How do individuals represent the minds of others? When, why, and how do people signal (or not signal) their own moral character? And what role do emotions play in influencing evaluations of other people’s minds and actions? Grounded in real-world phenomena, my research sheds light on the drivers of cooperative, prosocial behavior—and the barriers that block it.
