Paul Deutchman

Paul is a social psychologist and behavioral scientist studying collective action and social norms. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. The goal of his research program is to better understand the social cognitive abilities that allow our species to cooperate successfully across diverse contexts. To do this, he conducts behavioral experiments and survey research with children and adults to better understand how these social-cognitive processes emerge across ontogeny and come to underlie and shape cooperative behavior.
