Arber TasimiAssistant Professor

Dr. Arber Tasimi received his B.A. in Psychology with Honors from the University of Pennsylvania in 2011 where he graduated summa cum laude. He then attended Yale University, earning his Ph.D. in 2017. Dr. Tasimi held a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University from 2017-2020 and joined the Department of Psychology at Emory University as an Assistant Professor in 2020.

Dr. Tasimi’s research seeks to illuminate the rich tapestry of human values and beliefs, spanning from the unique (such as believing that lizard people control U.S. politics) to the ubiquitous (such as preferring like-minded others). His research focuses on uncovering the origins, development, variations, and malleability of these human constructs.

By shedding light on these fundamental issues, research in the Morality and Development Lab aims to deepen an understanding of the intricate dynamics surrounding human values and beliefs, ultimately contributing to the cultivation of a more inclusive and tolerant global community.
