Research
My research is mainly on emotion and consciousness. In particular:

• Theoretical conceptualizations of emotional experience
• The role of emotional awareness in rational action & moral decision making
• Factors which influence the development of emotional awareness
• The effects of different reflective styles (e.g. lack of reflection vs. good reflection) on mental health

Current Research Projects:

• The role of self-awareness in grounding both rationality and morality.
• The role of emotional validation in children's development of emotional awareness (PhD project I am supervising being carried out by Anja Lindberg)
• Director of the Applied, Social & Health Psychology Research Group

Professional Associations

• Peer reviewer for: Psychological Review, Behavioral & Brain Sciences, Emotion Review, International Journal of Psychology, Nature Neuroscience.
