Research
Patty Leijten works as an Associate Professor at the Research Institute of Child Development and Education. She also serves as Director PhD Education in Child Development and Education. She studies how parents and children shape each other's behavior in ways that impact the development of children's mental health and well-being. In doing so, she bridges basic child development and intervention research, combining observational, experimental, and intervention evaluation studies (e.g., randomized trials and traditional, network, and individual participant data meta-analysis).
Current research projects include ZonMw supported projects on theoretically precise parenting support, and NWO Vidi supported project on understanding when risk factors for youth mental health are suitable intervention targets.
Patty received her MA (2009) from Radboud University Nijmegen and her PhD (2014) from Utrecht University. She worked as a visiting scholar at the University of Oregon and Arizona State University, and as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford and the University of Amsterdam.
