FeldmanHall Lab

We study the neural basis of human social behavior, with a focus on morality, altruism, and socio-emotional decision-making.

New paper out! w/ @jpheffne & @orielf
We show that anxiety, gender and media consumption were the main predictors of COVID-19 emotional distress last year, during the first stage of the pandemic:

.@Salon highlights study by @BrownUniversity @BrownCLPS Prof Oriel FeldmanHall showing that personality trait of "being intolerant of uncertainty" can exacerbate "neural polarization." https://t.co/owe69lABzs

[Brown University @BrownUniversity]

A new Brown-led study on political polarization shows how an aversion to uncertainty is often associated with black-and-white political views. https://t.co/n8bkFnQ8cd

Latest lab pub in @PsychScience spearheaded by twitterless Amrita! How does learning unfold in our highly uncertain social world? Contexts change and there are always dynamic hidden states (people aren't singularly trustworthy, they change over time). 1/x https://t.co/DiJ9HL1NLc

New preprint: Emotional responses to prosocial messages increase willingness to self-isolate during the COVID-19 pandemic https://t.co/qaXzkDty4G

Huge team effort to create this preprint in less than one month! Big thanks to collaborators @orielf @marclluis #covid19study

Join us! The FeldmanHall Lab is currently accepting applications for a post-doc and lab manager. More information found here: https://t.co/4zwUJPnzKK

[Oriel FeldmanHall @orielf]

Just out! @jpheffne first paper explores across 5 studies why we don’t always punish: it can send a negative moral signal (if punishing as a victim) that can influence ones reputation (but this is not the case when punishing as a third party) https://t.co/7D781JgdNJ

[Joey Heffner @jpheffne]

My first first-author publication with @orielf (my incredible mentor) is out! @FeldmanHallLab

We show that punishment is not always preferred to non-punitive alternatives and acts as a conduit for different moral signals depending on the social context
