About Me.Hello! I'm a sixth-year Developmental Psychology Ph.D. candidate at the University of Virginia. I am also a fellow of the International Max Planck Research School on the Life Course (LIFE Academy), Student Affiliate at the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding, and Research Affiliate at Cornell University's Early Childhood Cognition Lab.
I'm primarily interested in the development of social cognition and morality, specifically focusing on how and when children become moral beings. Using behavioral, eye-tracking, and pupillometry methods, my research investigates how children and adults understand (Yucel et al., 2020, under review) and enforce norms (Yucel & Vaish, 2018; Yucel et al., accepted), and the role of affect in moral decision-making (*Beeler-Duden, *Yucel, & Vaish, 2020; Yucel & Westgate, submitted contribution). |
