Tage S. Rai serves as Assistant Professor of Management at the Rady School of Management, University of California, San Diego. His research examines the intersection of ethics, culture, and violence through interdisciplinary psychological and anthropological lenses, with particular focus on moral motivations in violent contexts. PhD in Cognitive Psychology, UCLA Post-doctoral training, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University Former Editor for Social and Behavioral Sciences at Science Magazine Former Lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management Professor Rai's research centers on the social-relational nature of morality, investigating how moral sentiments paradoxically drive both humanization and violence. His work reveals that moralistically motivated perpetrators often exhibit greater self-control while harming victims and respond irrationally to material costs. Current projects develop psychological frameworks for understanding organizational and institutional violence, with emphasis on relationship regulation theory. His methodology combines experimental designs with qualitative cultural analysis to explore moral psychology across diverse contexts. Recent publications (2021-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on moralistic aggression, punishment systems, and violence psychology. Key trends include examining how moral motivations alter punishment sensitivity, the role of mind perception in political violence, and how material incentives undermine moral enforcement. Work spans experimental economics, political psychology, and criminology, frequently analyzing real-world conflicts through laboratory paradigms. The research consistently challenges rational actor models by demonstrating morality's capacity to override cost-benefit calculations in violent contexts. Professor Rai actively mentors graduate students and leads an inclusive research laboratory at UCSD focused on equity and diversity in moral psychology. His lab supports interdisciplinary collaboration while examining how cultural contexts shape moral judgments about violence and aggression. Current projects investigate organizational violence mechanisms and cross-cultural variations in moral punishment systems.
