Tobias Krettenauer

My research interests lie in the area of moral development. I am particularly interested in the interplay of cognitive, emotional and personality development as it is related to matters of moral conduct and moral consciousness. Recent research projects focus on moral identity development in adolescence and adulthood and the development of positive moral emotions.
