Tensions and Tradeoffs in Moral Psychology

Friday, May 26, 2017 · Boston, MA

Social

People endorse many different moral values, but little research has investigated how these moral values conflict in particular contexts (e.g., should I be fair or loyal). We present psychological insights into the way people make tradeoffs between competing moral norms, both at the level of individuals and across group contexts.
