Haidt Lab

Haidt Lab, founded by social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, focuses on understanding moral psychology and how people's values shape their beliefs and behaviors. The lab investigates why individuals from different backgrounds often conflict or struggle to understand each other. It explores concepts like morality, politics, and social cohesion, using research methods that include experiments and surveys. The findings aim to promote dialogue and empathy in a polarized society by illuminating the underlying psychological processes that influence human interactions and moral judgments. Ultimately, Haidt Lab seeks to foster a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives.
