New preprint co-authored with my PhD graduate, Yi. Link: bit.ly/4hBaRg6 We explored the relationship between moral reasoning development (by the Defining Issues Test) and decision-making (by the CNI model). Postconventional reasoning -> consequence sensitive. Maintaining norms -> norm sensitivity.

New preprint alert bit.ly/4p6GuB5 A directed acyclic Bayesian network of moral functioning estimated. The method is capable of demonstrating the direction of prediction (e.g., A is a necessary condition for predicting B) to inform possible causality on top of mere correlation. (1/5)
