Report summary

Princeton University Department of Psychology in 2021-2023 reads as a 31-PI network with 28 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Neuroscience as the leading field (24% of slots across 15 PIs; 15 labels), Cognitive Neuroscience as the leading subfield (19% of slots across 14 PIs; 14 labels), and Neural dynamics and brain function as the leading topic (9% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Elizabeth Gould (7.5 weighted works; Stress Responses and Cortisol, Neuroendocrine regulation and behavior). The strongest pairings are Robert D. Hawkins and Thomas L. Griffiths (7 shared works, weight 3.4); Kenneth A. Norman and Jonathan D. Cohen (6 shared works, weight 2.9). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 12 internal connections, weight 18.1, around Cognitive Neuroscience, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, General Decision Sciences, led by Thomas L. Griffiths, Yael Niv, Adele Ε. Goldberg.
