Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Developmental psychology
  • Cognition
  • Social psychology

His main research concerns Developmental psychology, Evolutionary developmental psychology, Life history theory, Evolutionary psychology and Child development. His research in Developmental psychology intersects with topics in Psychosocial, Social psychology, Behavioral neuroscience and Differential susceptibility hypothesis. His Social psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Science policy and Developmental psychopathology.

The Differential susceptibility hypothesis study combines topics in areas such as DUAL, Environmental psychology and Vulnerability. In Evolutionary developmental psychology, Bruce J. Ellis works on issues like Developmental stage theories, which are connected to Arousal, Stressor, Neuroscience and Affect. Bruce J. Ellis combines subjects such as Social support, Early childhood and Physiological psychology with his study of Child development.

His most cited work include:

  • Biological sensitivity to context: I. An evolutionary–developmental theory of the origins and functions of stress reactivity (1379 citations)
  • Differential susceptibility to the environment: an evolutionary--neurodevelopmental theory. (977 citations)
  • Fundamental Dimensions of Environmental Risk : The Impact of Harsh versus Unpredictable Environments on the Evolution and Development of Life History Strategies. (747 citations)

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

Bruce J. Ellis mostly deals with Developmental psychology, Social psychology, Evolutionary psychology, Life history theory and Evolutionary developmental psychology. Much of his study explores Developmental psychology relationship to Longitudinal study. His study in the field of Self-esteem, Interpersonal relationship, Aggression and Feeling also crosses realms of Interpersonal attraction.

His Evolutionary psychology research incorporates elements of Philosophy of science and Mental health. The study of Evolutionary developmental psychology is intertwined with the study of Developmental stage theories in a number of ways. He has researched Child development in several fields, including Psychosocial and Early childhood.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (61.86%)
  • Social psychology (23.71%)
  • Evolutionary psychology (23.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Developmental psychology (61.86%)
  • Psychological resilience (4.12%)
  • Cognitive psychology (9.28%)

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

Bruce J. Ellis focuses on Developmental psychology, Psychological resilience, Cognitive psychology, Perspective and Life history theory. His study explores the link between Developmental psychology and topics such as Stress reactivity that cross with problems in Psychosocial stress. His work is dedicated to discovering how Cognitive psychology, Cognition are connected with Transfer of learning and Variety and other disciplines.

Many of his Perspective research pursuits overlap with Function, Statistical learning, Economic Justice, Life circumstances and Stigma. His study looks at the intersection of Life history theory and topics like Socioeconomic status with Gestational age. His Test study deals with Family stress intersecting with Oxytocin.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Developmental Adaptation to Stress: An Evolutionary Perspective. (82 citations)
  • Incorporating epigenetic mechanisms to advance fetal programming theories. (20 citations)
  • Hidden talents in harsh environments. (11 citations)

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

  • Developmental psychology
  • Cognition
  • Social psychology

Bruce J. Ellis mainly investigates Psychological resilience, Developmental psychology, Function, Perspective and Stress reactivity. As part of his studies on Psychological resilience, he often connects relevant areas like Gerontology. His Developmental psychology research incorporates themes from Signal Detection Analyses and Hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis.

His Function research incorporates Stress, Adaptive strategies, Life history theory, Developmental Science and Cognitive science. Throughout his Perspective studies, he incorporates elements of other sciences such as Adaptation, Economic Justice, Life circumstances, Stigma and Social Welfare. His Stress reactivity study incorporates themes from Test and Physical health.
