      By: Julian De Freitas, Hagop Sarkissian, George E. Newman, Igor Grossman, Felipe De Brigard, Andres Luco and Joshua Knobe
      People sometimes explain behavior by appealing to an essentialist concept of the self, often referred to as the true self. Existing studies suggest that people tend to believe that the true self is morally virtuous; that is deep inside, every person is motivated to...  View Details

      Normative Judgments and Individual Essence

      By: Julian De Freitas, Kevin P. Tobia, George E. Newman and Joshua Knobe
      A growing body of research has examined how people judge the persistence of identity over time—that is, how they decide that a particular individual is the same entity from one time to the next. While a great deal of progress has been made in understanding the types...  View Details

      Deep Down My Enemy Is Good: Thinking about the True Self Reduces Intergroup Bias

      By: Julian De Freitas and Mina Cikara
      Intergroup bias—preference for one's in-group relative to out-groups—is one of the most robust phenomena in all of psychology. Here we investigate whether a positive bias that operates at the individual-level, belief in a good true self, may be leveraged to reduce...  View Details

      Origins of the Belief in Good True Selves

      By: Julian De Freitas, Mina Cikara, Igor Grossman and Rebecca Schlegel
      Despite differences in beliefs about the self across cultures and relevant individual differences, recent evidence suggests that people universally believe in a ‘true self’ that is morally good. We propose that this belief arises from a general tendency: psychological...  View Details

      Beliefs About the True Self Explain Asymmetries Based on Moral Judgment

      By: George E. Newman, Julian De Freitas and Joshua Knobe
      Past research has identified a number of asymmetries based on moral judgments. Beliefs about (a) what a person values, (b) whether a person is happy, (c) whether a person has shown weakness of will, and (d) whether a person deserves praise or blame seem to depend...  View Details

      The Moral Virtue of Authenticity: How Inauthenticity Produces Feelings of Immorality and Impurity

      By: F. Gino, Maryam Kouchaki and Adam D. Galinsky
