Daniel Lim, M.A., Ph.D.
Newcastle Australia Institute of Higher Education University of Newcastle, Australia Lecturer My research spans across several areas -- behavioral science, affective science, and social psychology. In a nutshell, I am interested in exploring the following research questions using methods of scientific inquiry: Why do we experience emotions like compassion and empathy? How do social-environmental factors influence prosocial proclivities? What are the effective ways of enhancing compassion in individuals? How can we fine-tune moral emotions such as empathy and compassion to maximize beneficence? How do contemplative practices, such as mindfulness meditation, affect social behavior? |
