Jonathan Haidt

I am a Professor in the Social Psychology area of the Department of Psychology at the University of Virginia. (For the current academic year I’m the Henry Kaufman visiting professor of business ethics at the NYU-Stern School of Business.) I study morality and emotion, and how they vary across cultures. I am also active in positive psychology (the scientific study of human flourishing) and study positive emotions such as moral elevation, admiration, and awe
