معرفی
Rianne Kok is an Associate Professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam with dual appointments in the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (Youth and Family) and Erasmus MC Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry/Psychology. She holds a Ph.D. from Leiden University.
Her research examines how early social relationships shape cognitive and emotional regulation, with particular focus on infant emotion regulation, child inhibition, and parent-child deception. Kok employs observational methodologies to study dyadic regulation in naturalistic settings, developing novel coding schemes for behavior analysis.
Recent publications investigate developmental trajectories of lying, attachment security in high-risk infants, and cultural variations in parental deception. Her ERC Starting Grant funds innovative studies on child regulation in home and school contexts using audio recording protocols and ecological assessments.
Honors include the Impact Journey Award (2022) and EUR Fellowship (2016). She coordinates courses on child behavior problems and advanced diagnostics while supervising graduate research.
Kok leads studies on parenting capacities in vulnerable families and founded the Peer Relations Researchers network. Her work advances understanding of how social interactions influence self-regulation development.
