What wonderful news! Congratulations!!

Ugh I’m so sorry Marianna!!

I use JsPsych! In my opinion, it is a little easier to use out of the box than PsychoPy. It is really customizable (incl complex randomization), works with DataPipe, and is open source!

But another key piece to that original framing comes from philosophy, where the idea that people should prioritize moral pursuits (e.g., Peter Singer) and that morality is overriding are explicitly argued for.

So I do think the idea that morality shapes how people judge others, including judgments about the true self follows from that work—but I also think it’s a fair point that we may have overstated the "dominance" of that view some (& how much our results conflict with it).

From the psych side, we were drawing both on the person perception lit (e.g., Geoff Goodwin’s work, which I agree is more about person perception) and the true self lit (e.g., Strohminger: “Moral traits are the strongest contributor to identity, the self, and the soul”).
