Grateful to the speakers, co-organizers, and wonderful staff who brought together science and lived experience for this event.

Today a former student from my Intro to Psychology class surprised me with this excellent gift 🙌🏼😆

Both U.S. children & adults view pro-environmental behavior as positive and environmental harm as negative — even if sanctioned by authority.
But children & adults also show stronger moral judgments about harming humans than harming plants, animals, or ecosystems.🌳

🚨New paper: How do children judge moral "gray areas"? We find that children's ability to distinguish morally ambiguous characters from purely moral/ immoral ones strengthens with age: authors.elsevier.com/c/1kqyH51Y-X...
