Adam Cohen, PhD, 2000, University of Pennsylvania

Social Psychology

Research Interests: My main research interests fuse cultural, social, and personality psychology. I am interested in how religious differences function as cultural differences, affecting domains including religious identity and motivation, well-being, moral judgment, forgiveness, and the like. I am also interested in applying evolutionary theory to religion. I use survey techniques, physiology measures, facial behavior, and reaction time methods in my research

Teaching: Cultural psychology
