Project Description
I am looking for help with my moral psychology research! Moral psychology is the study of moral cognition and ethical decision making. My current research examines the relative impact of moral intuition and moral reasoning on ethical decisions. Additionally, I am working on developing educational social media resources to talk about moral psychology, specifically on Twitter/X and TikTok.
Technology or Computational Component
To study intuitive moral processes, I am using an automated task to measure participants' underlying biases of moral words. We will need to analyze the coded data for this. I will also be using the Julia coding language to perform other data analyses. Social media technology will also be important to learn the most effective ways to promote educational content.
