Working on this with @hohwy.bsky.social and Linda Barclay was such a pleasure, full of fantastic conversations and great aha moments. I also praise and thank @monash-m3cs.bsky.social for the warm and stimulating environment!

In the paper we draw a few tips for avoiding to violate dignity. For example, when our job demands that we give our colleague some negative feedback, the dignified way of doing it is the way that minimises risk that they would feel humiliated, ashamed, and embarrassed.

We also show that offences that targeted physical appearance and potential vulnerabilities (chronic medical conditions, disabilities), were rated as more related to dignity than other offences.

We show that people rated offences that resulted in humiliation, shame, and embarrassment as more related to dignity than those that resulted in anger, and control condition (no emotions specified).

Previous work has shown that people are not able to coherently describe the differences between dignity and respect. In our paper we show that regular people can actually recognise the unique value of dignity in a set of carefully crafted moral vignettes describing one person offending another.

Dignity is a very important ethical concept, but a dangerously fuzzy one, which puts into question whether and how we can honour our obligations to treat people with dignity! Our new study detangles dignity and respect, by showing dignity has specific ties to humiliation.

What does it mean to treat someone with dignity, as opposed to, say, treating them with respect? This experiment successfully tests the philosophical theory that ties dignity specifically to humiliation.

A fabulous day of M3CS PhD presentations - Lars Sandved-Smith on pure awareness, @shawnprest.bsky.social on defabrication in meditation, @bethfisher.bsky.social Fisher on optimism and gratitude. All done brilliantly with active inference and FEP modelling.

A language analysis of 7 core moral values in 256 societies finds that most of these values are present in most societies, all around the world, with only minor variation across cultural region

Pregnancy involves dramatic changes in the body and mind, but we know little about how the self changes, or the cognitive processes underlying this changing self. Check out my new preprint with @rebeccanineill.bsky.social and Sharna Jamadar where we aim to find out: osf.io/preprints/psya… A 🧡
