Research Interests
I am primarily interested in moral motivation in adolescence and young adulthood, particularly the role of moral values and moral identity. Further, I seek to understand individual and contextual influences on moral motivation development. Other relevant interests include (1) links between cognition and emotion, (2) self and identity, (3) personality, (4) motivation, (5) the role of religiosity in promoting positive outcomes in adolescence and adulthood, and (6) youth development programming.
