We study how children and adults understand their social world. Questions that our lab investigates include the following:
- How do children and adults reason about and interact with people who are different from them?
- How do children and adults reason about supernatural entities (e.g., God)? What religious and spiritual beliefs do individuals hold, and how do they reason about others' beliefs?
- How do children and adults make moral decisions?
- How do children and adults perceive the criminal justice system? How are children's lives influenced by the experience of having an incarcerated parent?
