Artur Nilsson is an Associate Professor at Linköping University with a keen interest in studying individual worldviews and related phenomena such as receptivity to misinformation and polarization. His research seeks to clarify how people's worldviews differ and evolve over time, impacting their lives significantly. Nilsson's work has previously focused on moral intuitions regarding right and wrong, political values, and philosophical assumptions about life. He is currently refining a model of basic beliefs regarding higher reality, human agency, and the goodness of the world, integrating multiple research fields in his theoretical pursuits. He collaborates with colleagues at the JEDI Lab, where they investigate how moral intuitions are reflected in charitable giving and how political ideologies influence susceptibility to misinformation and polarization. His theoretical and philosophical inquiries are anchored in understanding human beings as rational, meaning-making agents. Nilsson aims to develop a comprehensive framework that bridges psychology with contemporary philosophy of mind, also clarifying the role of various kinds of explanations in personality psychology.
