Project

My Ph.D. project is titled “Pathogen avoidance and moral emotions: Expression, perception, and response”, supervised by Prof. Dr. Joshua M. Tybur and Prof. Dr. Paul A.M. van Lange. The current project focuses on moral emotion, related social cognition, and its potential effect on social interactions from an evolutionary perspective. This Ph.D. project is financially supported by China Scholarship Council (CSC) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I also study another research line on the topic of the human behavioral immune system's impact on intergroup/intragroup interaction.
