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.

Dr. Tasimi is a developmental psychologist with broad interests in cognitive psychology, social psychology, behavioral economics, and affective science. His research aims to uncover the emergence of moral decision-making and to discover how and why people differ in their moral thinking of behavior. To approach these issues, his lab studies how moral decision-making unfolds over real time and developmental time. By illuminating how moral decision-making emerges as motivated behavior that reflects the interaction of developmental, cognitive, social, and affective processes, the ultimate promise of his research program is to inform practices––at the level of parents, teachers, and institutions––aimed at encouraging goodness and discouraging badness.
