Welcome
to the Social Cognition Lab at the University of Texas at Austin!
Research
in our lab uses a social-cognitive approach to address three broad questions:
(1) How do people make evaluative judgments about whether something is
good or bad? (2) How do people make truth judgments about whether something
is true or false? (3) How do people make moral judgments about whether
something is right or wrong? To address these questions, our research
utilizes a combination of lab and online studies, explicit and implicit
measures, and computational modeling. Major lines of current research
include attitude formation and change, susceptibility to misinformation,
and decisions in moral dilemmas. In addition to these major themes, our
work is concerned with basic questions of psychological measurement and
meta-theoretical issues in the construction and evaluation of psychological
theories. |
