Summary of research
Dr. Félice van Nunspeet's research is mainly focused on why, when, and how people adhere (or do not adhere) to moral norms and/or behave according to their personal or shared moral values. Moreover, since people may not always be able or willing to report their attitudes about moral issues or to reflect on their (im)moral intentions, she takes a psychophysiological and neuroscientific approach to examine people’s (implicit) behavioral tendencies as well as the affective and cognitive processes underlying these inclinations. To this end, she complements the use of self-report questionnaires with (explicit or implicit) behavioral measures and psychophysiological or neuroscientific research methods (e.g., ECG/EEG/ERP). Furthermore, her goal is to provide insights in the more fundamental psychological processes associated with (im)moral issues, behavior, and decision-making to complement applied scientific research on, for instance, ethical climates in organizations or the implementation of organizational and public policies.
