The Mind & Morality Lab is a developmental psychology lab at Brown University in the Cognitive & Psychological Sciences Department run by Dr. Julia Marshall.

The Mind & Morality Lab focuses on understanding the psychological roots of human morality. As adults, we hold strong convictions about what is right and what is wrong. In the lab, we hope to understand the extent to which certain moral beliefs and behaviors can be traced back to early emerging tendencies in childhood. To do so, we conduct psychological research studies with both children and adults.  Our studies typically involve engaging, child-friendly tasks. We work with children and adults in the United States and beyond to generate a compressive and diverse picture of human morality. We approach our research questions through an interdisciplinary lens, drawing on philosophical, legal, and psychological perspectives.
