At the HOPE Lab, we are committed to actively engaging with the topics that we research, both in our personal lives and in our research. We live by the following values:

Honesty
We strive to be honest in our professional and personal interactions. We honestly report our studies and results, and we provide honest, constructive feedback to others.

Opportunity
We strive to create opportunities for new scholars with the goal of diversifying and strengthening academia.

Prosociality
We help others, with time or money. We help both those we know and those we don’t know.

Ethics
We recognize the complexity of ethical decision-making and that tradeoffs between these values are sometimes necessary. Above all, we strive to make good ethical decisions, that we are willing to stand by.
