Beyond Beliefs: Religions Bind Individuals Into Moral Communities

TL;DR: The authors argue that social psychology can best contribute to scholarship on religion by being relentlessly social, and begin with a social-functionalist approach in which beliefs, rituals, and other aspects of religious practice are best understood as means of creating a moral community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Empathy: a motivated account.

TL;DR: Interdisciplinary evidence highlights the motivated nature of empathy, and a motivated model holds wide-ranging implications for basic theory, models of psychiatric illness, and intervention efforts to maximize empathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mingling, observing, and lingering: everyday public spaces and their implications for well-being and social relations

TL;DR: Different users of public spaces attain a sense of well- being for different reasons: the paper calls for policy approaches in which the social and therapeutic properties of a range of everyday spaces are more widely recognised and nurtured.
Journal ArticleDOI

Let's dance together: synchrony, shared intentionality and cooperation.

TL;DR: The reinforcement of cooperation model helps to explain the evolutionary conservation of traditional music and dance performances, and suggests that the collectivist values of such cultures may be an essential part of the mechanisms by which synchrony galvanises cooperative behaviours.

The metaphysics of improvisation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a taxonomy of the most common types of choices available to an improviser at the time of performing an improvised piece, including the most important ones from a phenomenological perspective.
