Moral cognition

The Editors at Communications Psychology invite submissions on the topic of moral cognition.
Change in perceived morality - or lack thereof - has aggravated writers for decades1 if not centuries. Unsurprisingly given the societal interest, how moral cognition affects human choices in multiple domains of behaviour is a longstanding and productive area of psychological research. Research on the topic covers topics such as the (cross-cultural) universality of moral beliefs; the developmental trajectory of moral cognition; the effect of perceived or actual differences on group behaviour; the role of moral language in the attention economy; its effect on nutrition and health related choices; moral cognition as an entry point to behavioural change; and finally, how moral cognition relates to human interaction with AI.
The Collection of research, review, and opinion content seeks to bring together work that explores moral cognition as a focal point for the vast range of human behaviour with which it has become associated. Authors interested in submitting narrative reviews or opinion content should contact the journal to discuss suitability.
