Dr. Ruth Speidel is a Developmental Psychologist whose research interests focus on investigating the mechanisms that shape early social-emotional capacities (e.g, emotion regulation, empathy) in children. Her research explores how early family processes such as emotion socialization during parent-child interactions, impact children’s social-emotional development, including in adverse environments. She is also interested in applying research and community-based approaches to develop interventions that aim to improve developmental outcomes for children and families. Ruth currently serves as the Managing Director of the Centre for Child Development Mental Health and Policy. She earned her PhD in Developmental Psychology from the University of Notre Dame.
