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

John C. Spence spends much of his time researching Gerontology, Physical therapy, Public health, Demography and Health promotion. The concepts of his Gerontology study are interwoven with issues in Cognitive development, Obesity, Perception and Cross-sectional study. His work carried out in the field of Physical therapy brings together such families of science as Psychological intervention and Systematic review.

The Psychological intervention study combines topics in areas such as Intervention and Behavioural sciences. His work in Public health tackles topics such as Environmental health which are related to areas like Built environment. He has researched Health promotion in several fields, including Public relations, Social marketing, Physical fitness and Social psychology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Gerontology (19.67%)

  • Demography (13.33%)
  • Developmental psychology (12.67%)
  • Screen time (8.33%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Demography, Developmental psychology, Screen time, Gerontology and Psychological intervention. His study in Developmental psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cognition and Middle class. His study focuses on the intersection of Cognition and fields such as Epidemiology with connections in the field of Public health.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sedentary behavior, Active play, Outbreak and Behavioural sciences. His Gerontology research integrates issues from Grey literature, Social support, Randomized controlled trial and Moderation. His work in Psychological intervention covers topics such as Pedometer which are related to areas like Friendship, Child development and Intervention.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impact of the COVID-19 virus outbreak on movement and play behaviours of Canadian children and youth: a national survey. (121 citations)
  • The relationship between transport-to-school habits and physical activity in a sample of New Zealand adolescents (24 citations)
  • Physical activity and sedentary behavior across three time-points and associations with social skills in early childhood (17 citations)

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

  • Law
  • Statistics
  • Internal medicine

Developmental psychology, Screen time, Demography, Cycling and Cognition are his primary areas of study. His Developmental psychology study frequently links to other fields, such as Form of the Good. His Screen time research includes elements of Cross-sectional study, Outbreak and Behavioural sciences.

His Demography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Analysis of variance and Sample. His studies in Cognition integrate themes in fields like Theory of planned behavior, Epidemiology, Parental support, Intervention and Social cognitive theory.
