Graduate Students
Justin Aoki, PhD Student
- I study various aspects of moral psychology, ranging from moral decision making, moral judgments, moral behaviors, and moral identity. My current research focuses on understanding when our moral cognitions will (vs. will not) guide our behaviors.
ShiangYi Lin, MS/PhD Student
- I study the perception and evaluation of social others in group contexts. What especially interests me are the roles of stereotypes and group identities in shaping people's cognition and behavior toward others, and also the way by which biases can be mitigated (e.g., via establishment of social norms).
Nick Ungson, MS/PhD Student
- I'm currently doing research on the different ways that we mentally represent loyalty and how these representations each involve distinct motivations and group-relevant goals. I'm also interested in moral construal; that is, what factors affect whether or not we moralize objects, events, and behaviors in our environment?"
Stephanie Cerce, MS/PhD Student
- My research interests include morality and intergroup relations, as well as religious and political psychology. My current research focuses on the psychology of blame, including how information regarding a transgressor’s personal history influences blame ascriptions.
Natasha Thalla, MS/PhD Student
- I am interested in the psychology of religion and how that interacts with group processes. With Dr. Packer, I am looking at how people can manipulate others (and are vulnerable to manipulation as a result of) signals of commitment to the in-group
