About
I study how humans judge wrongdoing, assign responsibility, and decide which punishments are appropriate. My research seeks to explain the cognitive and evolutionary bases of these judgments by integrating theories and methods from moral psychology (e.g., surveys and experiments), evolutionary theory (e.g., game theory), and anthropology (e.g., cross-cultural databases).

Research Interests
Punitive and compensatory justice
Are humans moralistic enforcers prone to punish wrongdoing at a personal cost?
Is compensation a cross-cultural universal? Do people across cultures share similar intuitions about what is owed to victims?
Why do victims sometimes seek revenge on innocent third-parties?
The condemnation
of negligence
Why are some accidental harms condemned as negligent while others are not? What cognitive mechanisms underlie attributions of negligence?
Is there cross-cultural variation in the propensity to attribute negligence? If so, what socioecological factors account for it?
The moral
regulation of war
Why do people condemn certain forms of violence in war even when they are strategically effective?
Is “just war” a recent cultural invention, or does it reflect cross-culturally shared moral intuitions about acceptable conduct in war?
Are moral judgments about warfare grounded in the same cognitive processes as everyday moral decision-making?
