What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary scientific interests are in Developmental psychology, Social psychology, Ecology, Social learning and HUBzero.
In the field of Developmental psychology, her study on Strange situation overlaps with subjects such as Food preference.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Food choice and Free ranging in addition to Social psychology.
While the research belongs to areas of Free ranging, Paola Valsecchi spends her time largely on the problem of Dominance, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Agonistic behaviour, Dominance hierarchy and Aggression.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Zoology and Taste, Taste aversion.
Her HUBzero study which covers Animal-assisted therapy that intersects with Clinical psychology and Temperament.
