Edward Royzman is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, affiliated with the Master of Behavioral and Decision Sciences program. His research focuses on moral psychology, cognitive processes in judgment, and the interplay between emotions and moral reasoning. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.
Key research interests include moral absolutism, emotional affect in moral evaluations (e.g., disgust and anger), and ethical reasoning in dilemmas involving technology (e.g., genetically modified food). His work bridges empirical psychology with philosophical questions about moral cognition, judgment biases, and the role of cognitive reflection in ethical decision-making.
Recent articles explore themes like 'wrongless injustice,' gender gaps in puritanical morals, and the psychological underpinnings of opposition to new technologies. His writing critically examines moral dumbfounding, virtue ethics, and the mechanisms behind moral myopia.
Royzman is associated with the Solomon Labs and has contributed to debates on empirical methods in moral psychology, particularly regarding measurement challenges in affective predictors of moral attitudes.
