Talk given by Melanie Vauclaire, Iscte

Morality, i.e. the principles that guide our understanding of right and wrong, is a somewhat elusive, but multifaceted concept. Most importantly, it can create divisions within and between societies. This talk aims to delve into three key dimensions within the wider web of morality: moral vitalism, moral expansiveness, and moral attitudes.

Moral vitalism concerns the metaphysical belief system surrounding good and evil forces in the world. Moral expansiveness refers to the size of our moral circle, determining who and what we deem worthy of moral concern. Lastly, moral attitudes are the subjective judgments we make about actions being right or wrong. Despite the significance of these dimensions for intergroup relations, the complex interplay between individual and contextual factors remains largely unexplored.

By adopting a socioecological approach, this talk aims to shed light on variations in morality across societies, including the dynamic changes observed over time. Through a series of cross-cultural studies, I will demonstrate how the different facets of morality are related to the social, ecological, or economic conditions that surround us.

I will argue that examining the intricate interplay between psychological and socioecological factors offers valuable insights into the functioning of human morality in different contexts.

Social representations of ethnicity in Aotearoa-New Zealand: Different kinds of Europeans and their role in the identity politics of decolonization

21 Abril 2023, 18:00 Rita Sousa


Presentation by Prof. James Liu, Massey University , New Zealand

Professor James Liu will present the results of a 2020 national online survey in New Zealand that focused on the three commonly used labels to describe people of European ancestry in the country: Pakeha, New Zealand European, and New Zealander. The survey aimed to understand the political and social meanings associated with these labels and their relationship with Maori and decolonization movements. The conference will discuss the implications of the findings for demographers and social psychologists and theorize about how social representations of these three terms produce and reproduce significant elements of the political psychology of New Zealand today.
