Research<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Current research is focused on the role of cognitive mechanisms, both explicit (e.g., autobiographical memory) and implicit (e.g., implicit memory\/learning; priming) in generating subjective\/emotional (cognition-emotion relation), behavioral, and psycho-physiological human responses, more specifically, on the role of (a) rational\/functional and irrational\/dysfunctional beliefs and (b) response hopes and\/or expectancies on various psychological and medical outcomes related to mental health and cancer. When clinical trials are used as research instruments – often based on cognitive behavioral psychotherapies (sometimes including cognitive hypnotherapy) – the analysis employed is typically multilevel, concerning: (1) outcomes (i.e., efficacy and\/or effectiveness); (2) theory\/mechanisms of change (both psychological and neurobiological); and (3) economical aspects (e.g., cost-effectiveness, cost-utility). A specific research interest is related to the use of technological developments in clinical psychology\/psychotherapy (i.e., virtual\/augmented reality therapy; robotherapy) and in a cross-cultural approach. Recently, a strong body of meta-analysis research (i.e., classic\/IPD\/network) defined Dr. David also as a \u201cmeta-researcher\u201d.<\/p>\n

In 2019 and 2020 Dr. David was included in top 2% most cited scientists in the world (in the Scopus system – analysis made by Stanford-Elsevier), both in specific fields (clinical psychology\/cognitive science) and across all of science fields. Google Scholar (27 March 2022): 12725 citations; H=60. (https:\/\/scholar.google.ro\/citations?user=yCHcggQAAAAJ&hl=en<\/a><\/span>)\u00a0<\/p>\n
