Dr Paul Conway

I’m a senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology and assistant editor of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.

My research focuses on the psychology of morality: how people decide what is right and wrong and who is good and bad, why people are motivated to do good and sometimes fail, why people agree and disagree over moral matters, and how people adjust moral judgments to present themselves in socially optimal ways.

I’m also interested in many topics such as self-sacrifice, self-control, religiosity, cultural differences, and social rejection.
