Todd Heatherton is the Champion International Professor in the
Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College.
He has been on the executive committees of the Society of Personality
and Social Psychology, the Association of Researchers in Personality,
and the International Society of Self and Identity and has served on the
editorial boards of Psychological Science, Social Neuroscience, Social
Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Journal of Abnormal Psychology,
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of
Personality, and Review of General Psychology. He is currently
Associate Editor at the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience and
previously served as
a member of the SPIP Study Section at NIH. He is author or co-author
of more than 100 articles, chapters and books. He received the Petra
Shattuck Award for Teaching Excellence from the Harvard Extension
School in 1994. In 2005, he received the award for Distinguished
Service on Behalf of Social and Personality Psychology from SPSP for his
role in creating the annual SPSP meeting. His current research interests include self-regulation and social brain
sciences
(executive functions and self-control, self-regulation failure and
disinhibition, negative affect and self-regulation, and neural correlates
of self-referemce); and interpersonal aspects of self (e.g., self-esteem,
interpersonal rejection, theory of mind, stigma). This research is
grounded in the traditions of
personality and social psychology, although the guiding theories, as
well as the techniques and methodologies that he uses (e.g., fMRI), are
strongly influenced by research in cognitive neuroscience.
