Ning Ding is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology, affiliated with the Co-SPACE team. Her work examines how individual factors (e.g., mental health, socioeconomic status) and societal influences (e.g., culture, policy) impact parents’ and children’s coping mechanisms during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. She holds a PhD from the University of Cambridge, where her research focused on cross-cultural comparisons of pre-schoolers’ future-oriented cognition.
Her educational background includes training in developmental psychology, specializing in behavioral tasks assessing children’s social and cognitive development. Her research spans developmental psychology, cognitive development, and cross-cultural studies. Recent work emphasizes executive function, cultural contrasts in child behavior, and the interplay between societal policies and mental health management.
Her articles explore themes such as cross-cultural differences in children’s decision-making (e.g., delay of gratification), executive function correlates in future-oriented cognition, and the relationship between language and flexible planning in early childhood. She contributes to initiatives like the Wellcome Language and Reading Project, addressing dyslexia and language interventions.
