Biography

Karin Brocki is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at Uppsala University, where her research focuses on children's development, particularly self-regulation. Her studies explore how poor self-regulatory skills are related to common behavioral problems such as ADHD and Autism. She aims to gain an understanding of the early environmental factors, attachment quality, and parental sensitivity that contribute to individual differences in self-regulation and developmental issues. Her recent work examines genetic effects on self-regulation by studying children at risk, including younger siblings of children diagnosed with ADHD or Autism. The longitudinal design of her research allows for the investigation of how factors interact over time and influence behavioral outcomes. Brocki hopes her research will enhance the understanding of early risk markers for behavioral problems, thereby contributing to the development of effective intervention methods that target self-regulation skills.
