Welcome! The Moral Minds Lab studies how and why people cooperate, using insights from social and developmental psychology. We explore morality across different stages of life and in cultures around the world, learning how our social and moral thinking is shaped by the environments we grow up in.
The Moral Minds Lab is directed by Dr. Meltem Yucel, and based in the Michigan State University's Department of Psychology. |
