McNally’s early research concerned psychophysiological experiments involving Pavlovian fear conditioning tests of the preparedness theory of phobias[1]. This work fostered the reformulation of central ideas concerning the evolutionary background of specific phobias[2][3].

A second early emphasis concerned conceptual, empirical, and psychometric work on the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI), a dispositional measure of the fear of anxiety-related symptoms[4][5][6]. Anxiety sensitivity is a risk factor for panic disorder and related syndromes[7].

McNally was among the first investigators to apply information-processing paradigms to elucidate biases in attention, memory, and interpretation in patients with panic disorder[8], obsessive-compulsive disorder[9], and posttraumatic stress disorder[10]. More recent work concerns social anxiety disorder[11] and complicated grief[12], including experiments designed to attenuate cognitive biases in people with social anxiety[13][14].

Other publications on various controversies concern the epidemiology of posttraumatic stress disorder[15][16][17], psychological debriefing following trauma[18] recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse[19][20], cognitive[21] and psychophysiology studies[22] on people reporting having been abducted by space aliens or claiming to have memories from their “past lives”[23], and research on the emotional impact of “trigger warnings” akin to those increasingly common in academia[24][25].

Current research includes network analytic studies on psychopathology[26], including posttraumatic stress disorder[27], obsessive-compulsive disorder[28], social anxiety disorder[29], complicated grief[30], rumination[31], and posttraumatic growth[32].
