Much of Professor Darley's research has focused decisions and actions that have moral components or implications (e.g., decisions about whether to punish someone for a transgression). Related to this, he is also interested in interpersonal power, how it plays out in social interactions, and how people attempt to manage others with incentive systems. He is most well known for his work into social and emergency intervention. His interests include applied social psychology, ethics and morality, interpersonal processes, social influence, and prejudice and stereotyping.
