Daryl Cameron investigates the psychological processes involved in empathy and moral decision-making, using an interdisciplinary approach drawing on affective science, social cognition, and moral philosophy. In much of his research, he examines motivational and situational factors that shape empathic emotions and behaviors toward others. In other research, he uses implicit measurement and mathematical modeling to assess empathy and moral judgment in healthy, clinical, and incarcerated populations. To learn more about his research, please visit the Empathy and Moral Psychology Lab web page (https://emplab.la.psu.edu).
Dr. Cameron is a Sherwin Early Career Professor in the Rock Ethics Institute for 2023-2026. Additionally, he is a Senior Research Associate in the Rock Ethics Institute.
I really enjoy building connections with other researchers, particular across disciplines. It’s how I was trained as a student, working with psychologists and philosophers, and in my time here at Penn State, I’ve had so many fun conversations with researchers across the social sciences and humanities.
