Self and Identity
My primary research interest is in the development of self-awareness. I am interested in approaching this topic from a number of different perspectives, including those of cognitive, social, comparative and cross-cultural psychology. I am also interested in researching related socio-cognitive capacities, such as the development of theory of mind, meta-cognition, morality/prosocial behaviour, and executive function (particularly memory and self-regulation).
