We are a group of researchers who concentrate on the development of emotion regulation with a specific interest in children's and adolescents' focus on emotions, hence the name of our group: Focus on Emotions. Our group forms part of the unit Developmental and Educational Psychology at Leiden University, the Netherlands.
Our research involves many aspects of children's emotion regulation, such as: appraisal and emotion awareness, coping, emotion expression, and social influences on children's emotional development. We study children's emotional functioning in typically and atypically developing groups.
Since validated measures to examine the various aspects of children’s emotional functioning are scarce, many of the instruments we use are developed and/or validated within this group (e.g. see link Instrument Development).
