Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Psychiatry

Bea Van den Bergh spends much of her time researching Anxiety, Psychiatry, Birth weight, Developmental psychology and Clinical psychology. Her Anxiety research includes themes of Cognition, Elementary cognitive task and Affect. The study incorporates disciplines such as Occupational stress, Low birth weight, Cohort study and Job strain in addition to Birth weight.

Her Stuttering and Rating scale study, which is part of a larger body of work in Developmental psychology, is frequently linked to Temperament, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Clinical psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Neurocognitive, Prenatal stress, Autism and Schizophrenia. Her State-Trait Anxiety Inventory study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Offspring and Prospective cohort study.

Her most cited work include:

  • Antenatal maternal anxiety and stress and the neurobehavioural development of the fetus and child : links and possible mechanisms. A review (808 citations)
  • High antenatal maternal anxiety is related to ADHD symptoms, externalizing problems, and anxiety in 8- and 9-year-olds. (513 citations)
  • Antenatal Maternal Anxiety is Related to HPA-Axis Dysregulation and Self-Reported Depressive Symptoms in Adolescence: A Prospective Study on the Fetal Origins of Depressed Mood (343 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Bea Van den Bergh mainly focuses on Developmental psychology, Clinical psychology, Anxiety, Maternal anxiety and Psychiatry. In her study, Bea Van den Bergh carries out multidisciplinary Developmental psychology and Temperament research. Bea Van den Bergh interconnects Psychological intervention, Mental health and Depression in the investigation of issues within Clinical psychology.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Offspring, Prospective cohort study, Gestation and Cohort study. Bea Van den Bergh works mostly in the field of Offspring, limiting it down to topics relating to Cognition and, in certain cases, Disease, as a part of the same area of interest. Her studies deal with areas such as Heart rate variability and Birth weight as well as Psychiatry.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (47.21%)
  • Clinical psychology (25.38%)
  • Anxiety (27.41%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Clinical psychology (25.38%)
  • Offspring (18.27%)
  • Anxiety (27.41%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Clinical psychology, Offspring, Anxiety, Prenatal stress and Cognition are her primary areas of study. Her research integrates issues of Psychological intervention and Mental health in her study of Clinical psychology. Her work carried out in the field of Offspring brings together such families of science as Developmental psychology and Amygdala.

Bea Van den Bergh has included themes like Maternal anxiety and Affect in her Developmental psychology study. By researching both Anxiety and Association, she produces research that crosses academic boundaries. As a member of one scientific family, Bea Van den Bergh mostly works in the field of Cognition, focusing on Disease and, on occasion, Coping, Psychiatry, Cognitive coping, Positive coping and Psychological distress.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Prenatal developmental origins of behavior and mental health: The influence of maternal stress in pregnancy (277 citations)
  • Prenatal stress and the developing brain: Risks for neurodevelopmental disorders. (42 citations)
  • Associations between maternal psychological distress and salivary cortisol during pregnancy: A mixed-models approach (14 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Psychiatry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Temperament, Clinical psychology, Offspring, Anxiety and Stop signal. Her Clinical psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Randomized controlled trial, Blood pressure, Heart rate variability, Obstetrics and Autonomic nervous system. Her research in Offspring intersects with topics in Heart rate, Neuroscience, Amygdala and Default mode network.

She has researched Amygdala in several fields, including Gestational age, Affect, Vigilance, Developmental psychology and Hypervigilance. The Anxiety study combines topics in areas such as Biological psychiatry, Pregnancy Trimesters, Depression and Gestation. Her Stop signal research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stuttering, Audiology and Response inhibition.
