Dr. Lisa Krijnen is a postdoctoral researcher at Utrecht University's Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, specifically within the Clinical Child and Family Studies department. She completed her PhD in 2025 with a dissertation titled 'From Birth to Belonging: Psychosocial Development in Early Childhood', focusing on developmental assessment tools and risk factors.
- Research Focus: Psychosocial development in children aged 0-6 years, questionnaire design (e.g., ASQ-4), and the impact of preterm birth and pandemics on child outcomes.
- Projects: Led the development of 'OntwikkelingVoorop! 0-6', a digital system for developmental monitoring, and collaborated on validating the Bayley-III-NL.
Key Research Areas: Her work spans Developmental Psychology, Child Psychiatry, and Clinical Assessment. She investigates whether commonly used screening tools (Ages and Stages Questionnaire, Bayley-III) accurately predict long-term outcomes and measure intended domains, with a focus on social-emotional, cognitive, and motor development.
Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of child development, instrument validation, and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. Collaborations include experts like Prof. Anneloes van Baar and Dr. Marjolein Verhoeven.
