In this presentation, I will begin by discussing a global study we conducted that highlighted the critical role of morality in addressing worldwide challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This research, involving participants from 68 countries, demonstrated that moral identity, morality-as-cooperation, and the breadth of moral circles significantly influenced individuals' willingness to engage in public health behaviors and support related policies. Following this, I will introduce the Social Affective Neuroscience Institute, focusing on its mission to foster global collaborative research. I will outline how we are building on the success of our previous ManyLabs projects and creating new opportunities for international partnerships, with a particular focus on exploring morality and cooperation across diverse cultural contexts.
