Professor' Malle's research examines the cognitive tools that humans bring to social interaction (often called "social cognition"), especially the capacity to recognize intentional actions, make inferences about other people's mental states, and explain and morally evaluate human behavior. Other topics of interest include the relation between social cognition and language, the structure and function of human values, and people's conceptions of consciousness and free will.
