Emotions, Attitudes, and the Moral Marketplace: A Proposal to Investigate the Psychological, Social, and Situational Determinants of Prosociality and Antisociality
Abstract
This research effort will examine factors that contribute to pro-social behavior (i.e., voluntary behavior intended to benefit other people or society as a whole), and factors that contribute to anti-sociality. At the social level, Dr. Fessler s work will investigate how competition for inclusion by peers in cooperative activities mold pro-social behavior according to market dynamics. This is important work to the DoD. By understanding the interactions between psychological /social factors that influence pro-social or antisocial behavior, decision makers within the DoD can develop "phase zero" operations, strategies for collaboration with friendly nations, and techniques to counter our adversaries through developmental activities or information operations.
