Steve Guglielmo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Macalester College, where he conducts research on moral judgment and social cognition. His work examines how mental state inferences shape moral evaluations, with particular focus on asymmetries between blame and praise. His educational background includes a BA from SUNY Geneseo, an MS from the University of Oregon, and a PhD in Social Psychology from Brown University (2012). After his PhD, he served as a Lecturer in the Cognitive Science Program at Yale University before joining Macalester in Fall 2013. Research Interests Guglielmo's research centers on moral psychology and social cognition , specifically investigating how people interpret behavior through mental state judgments (knowledge, desire, intention) to form moral evaluations. His work challenges traditional views by examining whether morality influences intentionality judgments rather than vice versa. Key areas include blame-praise asymmetries (where negative moral judgments show greater differentiation and extremity), timing of moral judgments , and applications of Moral Foundations Theory to political and media contexts. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on moral judgment mechanisms, with increasing attention to political applications and cross-cultural dimensions. His work frequently employs experimental methods to dissect cognitive processes underlying moral evaluations. As Principal Investigator of the Morality and Social Cognition (MASC) Lab , he mentors undergraduate research assistants. Current lab members include Robert Reiss (focusing on moral/political psychology), Ruby Rogers (interested in clinical applications), and Kaiyuan Yang (exploring AI-cognition connections). The lab has trained numerous alumni who have pursued psychology careers.
