Piercarlo Valdesolo’s research sits at the intersection of affective science and social psychology with a particular interest in how distinct emotional states — such as awe, compassion, and gratitude — influence cognitive processes and social behavior. Using methodology from social and cognitive psychology, his research has explored the effect of these emotions on phenomena like moral judgment, knowledge acquisition and learning, and religious belief.
