Nicole Perry is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Human Development & Family Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research focuses on the development of self-regulatory processes, particularly emotional regulation. Grounded in developmental science, her work emphasizes the interconnectedness of developmental domains and the importance of social contexts in shaping emotional development. She employs various biological indices, including neural activity and stress mediating systems, to build comprehensive biopsychosocial models that elucidate variations in emotional and behavioral regulatory processes. Through her investigations of caregiving environments, particularly among typically-reared and previously-institutionalized children, she aims to understand the critical roles that sensitive caregiving and early deprivation play in emotional well-being. Perry's research interests span biobehavioral processes, child and adolescent health, parenting, and caregiving.
