Dr. Gonzalez's research spans several critical areas in psychology and public health. Her fingerprint analysis reveals significant contributions to Psychological Assessment (42%), Personality Inventory (42%), and Fibromyalgia research (100%), with additional expertise in Life Events (25%), Autonomy (21%), Self-Report methodologies (17%), and Variance analysis (17%). Her recent work demonstrates a strategic pivot toward public health applications, particularly in vaccination behavior and higher education challenges in the post-pandemic context.

Her publication trends show a clear evolution from foundational psychological assessment work toward applied research with societal impact. The 2024-2025 publications reveal a strategic focus on three main streams: mental health in organizational contexts, vaccination behavior analysis, and higher education challenges. Her work increasingly employs mixed-methods approaches and addresses timely issues like post-pandemic educational disruptions and public health communication effectiveness.

Dr. Gonzalez actively participates in research projects with substantial societal implications. She serves as Researcher on five major projects including 'Autismo 360º' (2024-2026), 'CHRONOnutrition & FunctIonal movement for sustainable Type 2 Diabetes remission', and interventions addressing autism literacy and seasonal vaccination campaigns. Her work has generated media coverage, including features on 'Clinical Consultation in the Workplace' in January 2025.

Her laboratory work centers around the HEI-LAB (Human Environment Interaction Lab), which appears to focus on the intersection of psychological assessment, technology-mediated interventions, and real-world applications. Collaborative networks extend across Portuguese academic institutions with particular emphasis on translating psychological research into community-based interventions and policy recommendations.
