Excited to present my multi-method, cross-cultural work on how children understand different types of norms and who they apply to Penn State! #MPRG2024


So proud of my post doc Meltem Yucel (Melt-um You-Jell) for reaching this huge milestone in her career! This will be a lab to watch out for, and join if you want to study moral psychology across development and culture!

Dr. Meltem Yücel joined us as a guest in our lab with her talk titled “Flexibility and Diversity of Children’s Moral Reasoning”! ✨We thank her for sharing her inspiring research and engaging in a wonderful conversation with us. Meltem Yucel (Melt-um You-Jell) @ MoralMindsLab 💐

Moral Minds Lab is at #SRCD25! Excited to share ideas, learn from others, and hopefully even squeeze in a coffee or two in between! Society for Research in Child Development #SRCD2025
