Research at MAPELab is mainly focused on the topics of Morality and Prosociality, Affect, Politics, and Environmentalism.
Our research in Morality and Prosociality investigates how moral reasoning and prosocial behaviors are influenced by psychological factors, shaping both individual actions and their impact on others.
Our research in Affect studies how different emotional states impact oneself, their behavior, and the behavior of those around them.
Our research in Authenticity investigates how the alignment between internal values and external expressions, adherence to social norms, and perceived connections to origins influence perceptions of genuineness and trust in both individuals and organizations.
Our research in Politics studies the effects of politics on today's society – how political action and events can affect one's thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
Our research in Environmentalism studies and analyzes the factors behind societal and individual beliefs on various environmental issues.
Our lab also conducts research in a variety of other topics, such as authenticity, diversity and inclusion, and organizational values and corporate social responsibility.
