(2013): What Would I Do?. Civilians' Ethical Decision Making in Response to Military Dilemmas. In: Ethics & Behavior 23 (3), S. 237-249. DOI: 10.1080/10508422.2012.748634
Abstract: This research explored the ethical decision-making process of civilians in response to real-world military dilemmas. Results revealed the complexity of these dilemmas, with about equal proportions of civilians choosing each of two response options. The moral intensity dimension of social consensus significantly predicted moral judgment in both dilemmas, whereas that of magnitude of consequences did so in only one dilemma, partially supporting our hypothesis. Both dimensions were significant predictors of moral intent in both dilemmas as was moral judgment, also supporting our hypotheses. We conclude with suggestions for future research questions in this compelling area.

(2009): Power, Trust, and Institutional Constraints. In: Rationality and Society 21 (2), S. 171-195. DOI: 10.1177/1043463109103898
Abstract: This article focuses on how institutions matter in generating relationships of trust in an environment of unequal power. Trust is seen as the truster's expectation that the trustee will act trustworthily out of moral commitment and/or interest in continuing the relationship. Using cross-sectional data from a survey conducted in 2006 on Swedish employment relations the authors show that perceived power asymmetries between an employee and his or her superior have a negative impact on trust. However, perceptions about the enforcement and fairness of institutional constraints - rules for dismissal, conflict resolution, wage setting, and promotion - have conditioning effects. When the respondents perceive the rules as fair, trust is less influenced by increasing power asymmetries between an employee and his or her superior. The results have important implications. By designing institutions that are considered fair, distrust may be mitigated even in situations characterized by extensive power asymmetries.

(2005): The decorum of a defecating dog. In: PRINT QUARTERLY 22 (2), S. 119-132
Abstract: In his otherwise grandiose, monumental woodcut, the "Submersion of Pharaoh's Army in the Red Sea", Titian included a realistic depiction of a defecating dog (figs. 39-40). The dog is one small figure in a huge work, but is prominently placed in the foreground, so that it and Moses' commanding arm are the only elements projecting into a block otherwise filled with water. The few scholars who have commented on this detail have tended to dismiss it as an insignificant vulgarity or tasteless lapse in decorum.

(1996): The representation of emotions in groups. The relative impact of social norms, positive–negative asymmetry and familiarity on the perception of emotions. In: European Journal of Social Psychology 26 (1), S. 43-59. DOI: 10.1002/(SICI)1099-0992(199601)26:1<43::AID-EJSP736>3.0.CO;2-6
Abstract: Research in several countries shows that people hold norms of emotion perception, so that socially desirable emotions are perceived as positive and moderate. Subjects also believe that positive and moderate emotions are dominant in their lives. Other research shows that increased familiarity with a social group allows a better differentiation among the members and the attributes of this group (e.g. wider variability of emotions). In the present study, we compare the relative impact of familiarity with pleasant and unpleasant groups and social norms on emotion perception. Subjects (N=150) were to rate imagined family groups, families that they did not know well, and families that they knew very well, on perceived differentiation and variability of emotional episodes, extremity of emotional events, and global family evaluations. Results indicated that familiarity is weakly associated with perceived emotional variability in target families, and that, regardless of their familiarity with the family, subjects viewed unpleasant families as more negative, as less familiar, and as having a larger range of emotions than pleasant families. Results are discussed in terms of the idea that perception of emotions in groups depends more strongly on social norms than either on positive–negative asymmetry or on direct experience with their members.

(1985): Horace on good manners. In: Proceedings of the Cambridge Philological Society 31, S. 33-46. DOI: 10.1017/S0068673500004740
Abstract: This essay aims to discover and to illustrate one of the leading themes of Horace's first book of Epistles. This theme, good manners, despite its importance, is nonetheless neglected, or at any rate huddled up within the general praise of Horace's tact. Tact there certainly is, and we shall watch it in operation. But the poet would be setting aside that uerecundia which his patron praised (Epist. 1.7.37) if he were merely blowing his own trumpet. The display of tact and good manners perhaps serves other ends, and the suggestion of reasons for this choice of theme will form the substance of my remarks. Some preparation of the ground is necessary. This essay completes an argument begun in an article entitled ‘Horace's Epistles I and philosophy’ which will appear in the American Journal of Philology for 1985. In order that this essay may be fairly complete in itself it will be useful to set out very briefly the considerations which induced me to look more closely at good manners. To do this most compendiously, I shall offer some quotations from E. C. Wickham's English commentary on the first epistle and explain why they appear unsatisfactory. Wickham is not chosen as a whipping-boy for any other reason than that he neatly expresses a common view; in all respects he is a serious and helpful student of the poems.
