Granqvist’s research spans four key areas: (1) Attachment and Religion, examining how early caregiving shapes religious cognition; (2) Psychedelic Science, investigating neurohormonal and neurocognitive underpinnings of spiritual experiences; (3) Adolescent and Adult Attachment, using linguistic and relational analyses; and (4) Attachment in Mothers with Intellectual Disabilities, addressing risk factors and developmental outcomes. His work emphasizes empirical rigor, including longitudinal and experimental designs.
Recent publications highlight intersections between attachment, spirituality, and cultural trends. Notably, his 2023 book Tryggare kan ingen vara? synthesizes these themes, while 2023’s Where the Spirit Meets the Bone introduces ‘religiospiritual cognition’ as a novel framework. He also explores psychedelic science’s role in understanding attachment-related spirituality.
