Interests
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.
