Rianne Kok is an associate professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam specializing in Clinical Child and Family Studies within the Department of Psychology, Education, and Child Studies. She graduated from the University of Amsterdam in Clinical Neuropsychology and completed her PhD at the Centre for Child and Family Studies at Leiden University. Her research spans various disciplines including clinical cognitive psychology and child family studies, focusing on how early social relationships and interactions shape the regulation of cognitive and emotional processes. Rianne's work examines why some children struggle with self-regulation and how these differences can explain intergenerational patterns associated with psychiatric issues and socio-economic adversities. She employs observational paradigms to study parent-child interactions and has conducted significant research on the parenting capacities of high-risk mothers and their infants' development of self-regulation skills. Rianne is currently coordinating a EUR Fellowship grant to investigate child regulation in social contexts, utilizing innovative observation methods. Additionally, she teaches courses related to child behavior and advanced diagnostics at both the bachelor's and master's levels, and supervises students during their internships and thesis projects.
