Esperanza Gonzalez Bono

Esperanza Gonzalez Bono is a Professor in the Department of Psychobiology at the Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universitat de València. She is a member of the Institute for Research on the Psychology of Human Resources Organization (IDOCAL) and leads the NEUROPSICO research group, which focuses on the neuropsychology of stress and cognitive-affective processes.

Her research interests center on the biological and psychological mechanisms underlying stress, particularly how stress affects hormonal responses such as cortisol and testosterone, especially in high-performance contexts like sports. Her work integrates psychobiological assessments with cognitive and emotional evaluations to understand individual differences in stress reactivity and regulation.

The trends in her research, though specific publications are not listed, indicate a strong focus on human stress response systems, neuroendocrine functioning, and the interplay between cognition and emotion under pressure. This aligns with broader disciplines in behavioral neuroscience and clinical psychophysiology.
