Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Developmental psychology
  • Neuroscience

Essi Viding mainly investigates Developmental psychology, Psychopathy, Conduct disorder, Clinical psychology and Psychopathology. Her Developmental psychology research includes elements of Twin study, Empathy, Antisocial personality disorder, Social environment and Amygdala. Her work on Twins Early Development Study as part of general Twin study research is often related to Genetic determinism, thus linking different fields of science.

Her Conduct disorder study incorporates themes from Anterior cingulate cortex and Distress. Her Clinical psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Social relation and Child abuse. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vulnerability and Human factors and ergonomics in addition to Psychopathology.

Her most cited work include:

  • Load Theory of Selective Attention and Cognitive Control (1223 citations)
  • Evidence for substantial genetic risk for psychopathy in 7-year-olds. (577 citations)
  • Amygdala Hypoactivity to Fearful Faces in Boys With Conduct Problems and Callous-Unemotional Traits (456 citations)

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

Essi Viding mainly focuses on Developmental psychology, Clinical psychology, Psychopathy, Conduct disorder and Psychopathology. Her Developmental psychology research incorporates themes from Neurocognitive, Cognition, Callous unemotional, Empathy and Antisocial personality disorder. The various areas that she examines in her Empathy study include Cognitive psychology, Autism and Affect.

Her study on Clinical psychology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Child abuse which intersects with area such as Orbitofrontal cortex and Prefrontal cortex,
  • Intervention that connect with fields like Psychological intervention,
  • Injury prevention which connect with Psychiatry. The concepts of her Psychopathy study are interwoven with issues in Big Five personality traits, Distress and Autism spectrum disorder. Her studies in Conduct disorder integrate themes in fields like Anterior cingulate cortex, Aggression and Amygdala.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (61.18%)
  • Clinical psychology (27.06%)
  • Psychopathy (20.39%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Developmental psychology (61.18%)
  • Clinical psychology (27.06%)
  • Psychological intervention (8.63%)

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

Essi Viding mostly deals with Developmental psychology, Clinical psychology, Psychological intervention, Psychiatry and Sexual abuse. Essi Viding conducted interdisciplinary study in her works that combined Developmental psychology and Exploratory analysis. Her study in the field of Psychopathology is also linked to topics like Systematic review and Meta-analysis.

Her work on Child and adolescent and Autism is typically connected to Typology and Health care as part of general Psychiatry study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her Sexual abuse research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Intervention, Neglect and Mental illness. Her work carried out in the field of Callous unemotional brings together such families of science as Developmental trajectory and Twin study, Twins Early Development Study.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Associations between life-course-persistent antisocial behaviour and brain structure in a population-representative longitudinal birth cohort (10 citations)
  • Investigating patterns of neural response associated with childhood abuse v. childhood neglect (6 citations)
  • Genetic and environmental influences on the developmental trajectory of callous‐unemotional traits from childhood to adolescence (2 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Statistics
  • Neuroscience

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Developmental psychology, Callous unemotional, Clinical psychology, Psychopathology and Heritability. Her Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Feeling, Inference and Social cognition. Essi Viding interconnects Life course persistent, Cognition, Neuropsychology and Cortical surface in the investigation of issues within Clinical psychology.

Her Cognition research includes themes of Neglect, Intervention, Injury prevention, Sexual abuse and Mental health. Her Psychopathology research incorporates elements of Neurocognitive, Autobiographical memory, Association and Prosocial behavior. In the field of Heritability, her study on Twins Early Development Study and Twin study overlaps with subjects such as Baseline level and Growth model.
