Current research
Jeanette's current research focus is on the contribution the sciences can make to our understanding of the cognitive and affective underpinnings of moral reasoning, moral judgment, and moral agency, and the implications for meta-ethics and moral psychology. She is also revisiting the issue of self-control and responsibility, with a focus on addiction, in the light of recent empirical work.
