Mohammad Atari is a social psychologist studying culture and morality using a cultural-evolutionary approach. His research is based on state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques, surveys, experiments, and fieldwork.
His prior research has examined how humans perceive moral transgressions in social contexts, how the perceived alignment of moral values can fuel prejudicial attitudes in radicalized social networks, and how cultural dimensions (individualism, collectivism, honor) predict moral behaviors.
I am committed to promoting diversity in psychological science (and beyond). Please reach out if you want to learn more about what it is like to be a graduate student in my lab (or in academia, more broadly). You can email me in English or Farsi.
