Research Interests
I'm interested in moral development throughout the childhood and adolescent years. In particular I'm curious about developmental changes in reasoning about situations that have both social and moral components, as well as the situational influences that impact decision making on such multifaceted dilemmas. I'm also interested in the way children's social and moral reasoning changes as they enter adolescence and especially in how these developments relate to relationships with peer groups and exclusion.
