About
Dr. G. Peretti is a developmental psychologist whose research bridges cultural psychology, moral development, and human-robot interaction. Her most cited work, a 2025 cross-cultural study with 5 citations, examines how Italian and Japanese preschoolers make moral judgments and attribute emotions to both human and robotic transgressors. By adapting classic “happy victimizer” paradigms, Peretti reveals how cultural background shapes children’s ethical reasoning toward non-human agents—a timely contribution as AI and robotics become embedded in daily life. This innovative approach has positioned her at the forefront of developmental robotics ethics, with her findings informing debates on moral cognition across cultures. Her research demonstrates that even young children differentiate between human and robot wrongdoing in culturally specific ways, offering critical insights for designing socially responsible AI. Peretti’s work is increasingly cited in developmental psychology, cross-cultural studies, and human-robot interaction, marking her as a rising scholar whose interdisciplinary lens is reshaping how we understand moral development in an age of intelligent machines.
