In addition to my work on the psychology of algorithms, I feel quite passionate about the Effective Altruism movement. For example, in my recent paper on prosocial behavior (http://journal.sjdm.org/19/191220a/jdm191220a.pdf), Gabriele Paolacci (RSM) and I studied how people choose between charitable projects and how they can be more effective when donating.
The simple idea behind Effective Altruism movement is that given a certain amount of resources that we allocate to altruism, we should do the most good we can! If you want to know more about Effective Altruism, below are several links and books that you can check out:
