About Me.Hello!
I'm a Postdoctoral Associate at Duke University's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.I am also an Affiliate at Duke University, Student Affiliate at the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding and Research Affiliate at Cornell University's Sage School of Philosophy. I received my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology with a concentration in Quantitative Psychology at the University of Virginia in 2021. 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, in revision) and enforce norms (Yucel & Vaish, 2018; Yucel et al., 2021), and the role of affect in moral decision-making (*Beeler-Duden, *Yucel, & Vaish, 2020; Yucel & Westgate, in press). |
