My research interests include how humans use facial resemblance
to tell who their kin are and how people respond to cues of
kinship in different circumstances, especially in the domains
of prosocial cooperation and mate choice.

Research Interests
I'm interested in evolved subdomains of deontic reasoning
-- reasoning about what is permitted, obligated and prohibited.
In particularly interested in reasoning about nonmoral norms
relating to social cooperation and the avoidance of hazards.
I study people's thought about these domains using a variety
of methods drawn from cognitive psychology, developmental
psychology and cognitive neuroscience. I am also interested
in how mechanisms dedicated to reasoning in these domains
have been culturally elaborated into legal and religious systems.

Research interests
I am interested in the "self-conscious emotions":
shame, guilt, embarassment, pride, etc. My research involves
investigation of the roles that these emotions play in cooperative
relationships. I am currently examining how individual differences
in the tendency to experience guilt and/or shame after an
injury or defection are related to the social relationships
the individual has with others: do variations in social status,
level of social support, and formidability account for variations
in guilt/shame-proneness? I am also conducting research with
Michael Price in which I am studying social support and cooperative
behavior. We will conduct public good games in which I hope
to determine whether there is a correlation between level
of social support and tendency to cooperate or punish in collective
action-type contexts.

Research interests
I have two main research goals. One goal is to begin mapping
the evolved social psychology of the human brain. We are interested
in exploring the neural basis of human social cognition and
behavior, particularly those aspects that have been under
strong evolutionary selection pressure. A second goal is to
advance our understanding of hominid brain evolution through
comparing the brains of modern humans with non-human primate
brains using a variety of non-invasive brain imaging technologies,
including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI), positron emission tomography (PET)
and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). These methods enable comparisons
of brain structure and function between humans and non-human
primates.
