Dr. Yulina Eva Riany serves as an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Psychology, The University of Queensland, specializing in developmental and family psychology within Indonesian contexts. Her work bridges academic research with community-based interventions addressing child development, parenting practices, and socio-cultural dynamics.
Her educational background includes a PhD in Education from The University of Queensland (2016), where her thesis focused on parenting styles and parent-child relationships among Indonesian parents of children with and without autism spectrum disorder. This foundational work established her expertise in cross-cultural developmental psychology.
Dr. Riany's research centers on Indonesian family systems, with primary interests in child self-regulation development, parenting strategies across socioeconomic contexts, autism spectrum disorders in cultural settings, stunting prevention through family interventions, and adolescent behavioral outcomes. Her methodology integrates quantitative psychometric validation with community action research, often examining how traditional cultural values interact with modern parenting challenges. Recent work demonstrates growing focus on digital-era family dynamics including cyberbullying, online dating behaviors, and digital media's impact on early childhood development.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals consistent emphasis on culturally-grounded interventions: 60% address parenting practices in Indonesian contexts, 25% examine adolescent behavior and mental health, and 15% focus on educational policy implementation. Key thematic trends include validation of culturally-specific assessment tools (e.g., Indonesian Child Self-Regulation Scale), integration of religious frameworks in behavioral interventions, and community-based stunting prevention models.
While no formal scientific awards are documented in current records, her research has directly informed Indonesian policy briefs on child marriage prevention, school violence reduction, and quality family schools for stunting prevention. Her collaborative approach is evident through 48 co-authored publications since 2024 involving Indonesian community health workers, educators, and international researchers.
Dr. Riany's advisory work focuses on translating research into community practice, particularly through 'Edufamily' nutritional programs and pre-marital education initiatives in West Java. Her current projects emphasize building human capital through parenting education in resource-limited settings, with ongoing fieldwork in Bogor and Ciampea regions addressing intergenerational poverty cycles through family strengthening interventions.
