Dr. Nicole Casali
Main Focus
Nicole Casali’s research focuses on the dispositional factors that influence (un)ethical behavior and well-being. Within the framework of the ERC-funded “Know-Thyself” project, she is investigating how increasing self-knowledge of certain select morality-reality traits by way of personality-feedback interventions can help inspire goals to bring about change with regard to morality. In addition, she is seeking ways to effectively conceptualize and measure morality from a personality psychology perspective.
