Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Social psychology
  • Internal medicine
  • Mental illness

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Aggression, Developmental psychology and Serotonergic. His Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Impulsivity. Aggression and Physiology are commonly linked in his work.

His studies examine the connections between Developmental psychology and genetics, as well as such issues in Captivity, with regards to Demography. His studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Animal ecology and Mother infant. He focuses mostly in the field of Serotonergic, narrowing it down to topics relating to Fluoxetine and, in certain cases, Quipazine and Serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

His most cited work include:

  • Serotonergic mechanisms promote dominance acquisition in adult male vervet monkeys. (381 citations)
  • Social and environmental influences on blood serotonin concentrations in monkeys. (229 citations)
  • Social Impulsivity Inversely Associated with CSF 5-HIAA and Fluoxetine Exposure in Vervet Monkeys (155 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Developmental psychology, Vervet monkey, Psychiatry, Aggression and Internal medicine. The various areas that Michael T. McGuire examines in his Developmental psychology study include Adult male, Social status and Ostracism. The study incorporates disciplines such as Captivity, Physiology and Social group in addition to Aggression.

His Social group research includes elements of Social relation and Demography. Internal medicine is often connected to Endocrinology in his work. The concepts of his Serotonergic study are interwoven with issues in Fluoxetine, Fenfluramine and 5-HT receptor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (49.50%)
  • Vervet monkey (44.55%)
  • Psychiatry (27.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1990-2010)?

  • Social psychology (32.67%)
  • Aggression (35.64%)
  • Social relation (31.68%)

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

His main research concerns Social psychology, Aggression, Social relation, Serotonergic and Social group. As part of one scientific family, Michael T. McGuire deals mainly with the area of Aggression, narrowing it down to issues related to the Physiology, and often Developmental psychology and Vigilance. His work carried out in the field of Social relation brings together such families of science as Demography, Captivity and Social environment.

His Demography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Temperament and Novelty. His research in Serotonergic intersects with topics in Fluoxetine and Fenfluramine. In general Internal medicine, his work in Age and gender is often linked to Homovanillic acid, Monoamine neurotransmitter and Repeated measures design linking many areas of study.

Between 1990 and 2010, his most popular works were:

  • Serotonergic mechanisms promote dominance acquisition in adult male vervet monkeys. (381 citations)
  • Social Impulsivity Inversely Associated with CSF 5-HIAA and Fluoxetine Exposure in Vervet Monkeys (155 citations)
  • Social Impulsivity Inversely Associated with CSF 5-HIAA and Fluoxetine Exposure in Vervet Monkeys (155 citations)

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

  • Social psychology
  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry

Michael T. McGuire spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Serotonergic, Social psychology and Social relation. In the subject of general Internal medicine, his work in Age and gender is often linked to Homovanillic acid, Monoamine neurotransmitter and Repeated measures design, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Serotonergic research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fluoxetine and Fenfluramine.

In the field of Social psychology, his study on Novelty and Temperament overlaps with subjects such as Cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus and Behavioral inhibition. His research integrates issues of Social grooming, Clinical psychology, Demography and Personality in his study of Social relation. Aggression is a subfield of Developmental psychology that Michael T. McGuire investigates.
