I'm a social psychologist at UNC Chapel Hill. In my research, I focus on how people can shape their moral experiences--such as their judgments, identities, and behaviors--by shaping their emotional experiences. In some of my research, I have shown why and how people regulate compassion for many suffering victims (Cameron & Payne, 2011, JPSP) and what consequences this has for the moral self-concept (Cameron & Payne, 2012, Psychological Science). In other research, I have shown that people who can skillfully differentiate their emotions show less influence of incidental disgust on their moral judgments (Cameron, Payne, & Doris, 2013, JESP). I have also used process dissociation to model automatic and controlled moral judgments and relate these judgments to moral personality (psychopathy) and moral behavior (voting for a gay marriage amendment; Cameron, & Payne, & Sinnott-Armstrong, in prep).
