Personal profile

Research interests

My research broadly focuses on young children’s socio-moral development and moral reasoning. I investigate the various ways in which children come to navigate their social worlds and express their understanding of impartial moral norms.

My key areas of interest include:

  • Children’s use and understanding of guilt displays
  • Children’s sensitivity to moral justification
  • Using novel research paradigms (e.g., posture change as an index of children’s emotional expression).
