Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Law
  • Disease

Developmental psychology, Monozygotic twin, Dizygotic twin, Heritability and Clinical psychology are her primary areas of study. Her studies deal with areas such as Nature versus nurture, Human development, Affect and Personality as well as Developmental psychology. Her Nature versus nurture study incorporates themes from Twin study, Twins Early Development Study, Child rearing, Temperament and Field.

Her study brings together the fields of Minnesota Twin Family Study and Personality. Her Heritability research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gingivitis, Dental Plaque Index, Genetic variation and Periodontitis. Nancy L. Segal interconnects Additive model, Personality test, Psychometrics and Personality development in the investigation of issues within Big Five personality traits.

Her most cited work include:

  • Personality similarity in twins reared apart and together. (1308 citations)
  • Sources of human psychological differences: the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart. (1042 citations)
  • Job Satisfaction: Environmental and Genetic Components (518 citations)

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

Nancy L. Segal mostly deals with Developmental psychology, Twin study, Personality, Project commissioning and Social science. In general Developmental psychology, her work in Sibling is often linked to Monozygotic twin linking many areas of study. Her Monozygotic twin studies intersect with other disciplines such as Concordance and Clinical psychology.

As a part of the same scientific study, Nancy L. Segal usually deals with the Twin study, concentrating on Conjoined twins and frequently concerns with Genealogy. Her work in Personality is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Minnesota Twin Family Study. The Intelligence quotient research Nancy L. Segal does as part of her general Cognition study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Correlation, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (52.10%)
  • Twin study (46.85%)
  • Personality (10.49%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Twin study (46.85%)
  • Developmental psychology (52.10%)
  • Conjoined twins (8.04%)

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

Nancy L. Segal focuses on Twin study, Developmental psychology, Conjoined twins, Demography and Identical twins. Her research investigates the connection between Twin study and topics such as Psychiatry that intersect with problems in Quadruplets. Her studies in Developmental psychology integrate themes in fields like Twin Pregnancy, Pregnancy, Personality and Twins Early Development Study.

Her research on Personality concerns the broader Social psychology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Twin delivery and Musical. The concepts of her Demography study are interwoven with issues in Longitudinal study, Singleton and Zygosity.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Muscle health and performance in monozygotic twins with 30 years of discordant exercise habits. (19 citations)
  • Twinning and Multiple Birth Rates According to Maternal Age in the City of São Paulo, Brazil: 2003-2014. (12 citations)
  • Do parents favor their adoptive or biological children? Predictions from kin selection and compensatory models (12 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Law
  • Cognition

Her primary areas of study are Developmental psychology, Twin study, Personality, Zygosity and Cognition. Her Developmental psychology research includes themes of Offspring, Kin selection, Psychosocial, Twins Early Development Study and Intelligence quotient. Her study in the field of Minnesota Twin Family Study is also linked to topics like Identical twins and Personal perspectives.

Her Personality research is under the purview of Social psychology. Her Zygosity study also includes fields such as

  • Genetic testing which is related to area like Clinical psychology, Twin Studies as Topic, Coping and Bone marrow transplantation,
  • Demography which intersects with area such as Evolutionary selection, Supplementary data and Sex ratio. Her work on Epigenetics and Gene as part of general Genetics study is frequently connected to Monozygotic twin, Epigenome and Gene–environment interaction, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
