Dr. Naomi de Ruiter

BSc in Psychology, MSc (cum laude) in Education and Developmental Psychology (Research Master), PhD in Psychology

I do research in the area of (developmental) psychology, using a Complex Dynamic Systems theoretical framework and methods. In most of my research my focus is on the ontology of psychological phenomena and their developmental mechanisms. I study these phenomena as deeply embedded in social interactions, usually on the moment-to-moment time scale. Specific topics that I am interested in are self-esteem, academic self-concept, mindsets of ability, identity, motivation in learning contexts, and improv theatre and creativity.
