Muldoon's research concerns how groups memberships and social identities mediate the relationship between health, well-being as well as social and political attitudes. She is the author with colleagues of the Social Identity Model of Traumatic Identity Change,.[9] She has examined the impact of the war in Northern Ireland on children,[10][11] the impact of domestic violence, brain injury and sexual violence.[12] and social identity and post-traumatic stress disorder.[13][14]

Muldoon has made major contributions to debates raising concern's about Ireland's response to the COVID-19 pandemic because of the lack of diversity on the panel making recommendations.[15] She has spoken with the media about the statistics of violence against women,[16][17] and is a regular opinion contributor to The Irish Times.[18]
