Professor Heatherton's recent research takes a social brain sciences approach, which combines theories and methods of evolutionary psychology, social cognition, and cognitive neuroscience to examine the neural underpinnings of social behavior. Much of this research examines processes related to self, particular self-regulation, self-esteem, and self-referential processing.
