Research Area

Hayley’s research interests are broadly concerned with the role of culture in how people behave in social situations. Her research will focus on why people do (or don’t) engage in prosocial behavior, especially relating to global social issues like sustainability and community health. She is particularly interested in the gap between affect and behavior, along with how cultural or environmental factors can influence the extent to which we behave according to our values.
