My research to date has been concerned with psychological predictors of intergroup hostility.

Ana Margarida Fialho has a master in Educational Psychology (ISPA). Her main research interests focus on early childhood education and care (ECEC) quality and children’s social and emotional development (in particular, social skills, social acceptance, and emotion regulation).

I have a general interest in the interaction of biological and environmental aspects of emotion and behavior. I have taken evolutionary and comparative developmental perspectives to the study of children expressive behavior and ape facial expression, empathy and social behavior. My recent projects are focused in the development of emotional reactions, empathy, attachment and emotion perception
