Moral Attitudes and Decision-Making will be hosting visiting scholar Yoel Inbar, Assistant Professor of Social Psychology at Tilburg University, December 10-12. Inbar will be working with the MADLAB research group.

Inbar will be giving the last lecture in the Monday Seminar Series on December 10th, 12:30-1:30 in 101 West Duke.

Inbar’s research concerns the interplay between two general mental processes that influence judgment: rational, deliberate analysis, and intuitive, emotional reactions. His work looks at the interaction between these two kinds of thinking and the implications for people’s beliefs, actions, and choices. Examinations explore how intuition affects our choices; how our moral beliefs determine our own actions and our judgments of others; and how the emotion of disgust can predict our moral and political attitudes.
