What this means to us:

We are a team of scientists dedicated to conducting rigorous and cutting-edge research. We pursue the answers to psychological questions through science-based investigation of theoretical and empirical rigor. We recognize this as an opportunity to make a lasting impact within the global scientific community and society as a whole.

How we enact it:

• We are passionate about science. Science informs our own lives and our perspectives, and we are intrinsically motivated to do scientific research well.

• We work hard. We recognize the privileges we have earned in being able to do this work, and strive to take full advantage of the opportunities and resources at our fingertips.

• We strive to conduct rigorous, innovative science that is valuable to our academic community and society at large. 

• We strive to conduct ethical research that focuses on respect for our participants, our communities, our team and our academic compatriots. To that end, we have developed an extensive lab manual which includes rules and expectations for good laboratory science.

• We strive for openness and transparency in our practices, methods and reporting and aim to make our ideas and results as accessible as possible.
