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 what is good or bad? (2) How do people make veracity judgments about what is true or false? (3) How do people make moral judgments about what 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 responses to 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. |
