Jolene van der Kaap-Deeder

About

General

Jolene van der Kaap-Deeder works as an Associate Professor in Development and Psychopathology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In most of her work, she employs the theoretical framework of the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) thereby focusing on topics such as the psychological needs, autonomy-supportive and controlling parenting, motivation, and emotion regulation.

Jolene is the head of the Center on Parenting and Emotion Regulation (CPER) which aims to examine parenting, emotion regulation, and also the relation between these two constructs. In doing so, we rely on the theoretical framework of the Self-Determination Theory in which the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness play a crucial role.

Jolene has been selected to partake in the prestigious Outstanding Academic Fellows Programme 2022-2026 which focuses on young researchers who have excelled internationally in their fields of research. Additionally, she has completed the Program for Young Research Leaders organized by the University of Bergen (UiB), the University of Oslo (UiO), The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the University of Tromsø (UiT)

Emotion Crafting

Jolene obtained funding from the Research Council of Norway (Researcher Project for Young Talents; NOK 8,000,000 = ca. € 800,000) to examine the topic of emotion crafting (i.e., the EMOCRAFT project). The purpose of the EMOCRAFT project is to gain more insight into how older adolescents can actively contribute to their own emotional functioning which we call ‘emotion crafting’. Specifically, we want to examine how older adolescents can create more positive emotions in their daily life. This project first aims to examine what fosters such emotion crafting, where we for instance will look at how optimal parenting can increase adolescents' ability to engage in emotion crafting. Second, we want to determine what the consequences are of emotion crafting. It is, for instance, expected that emotion crafting will not only result in more positive emotions but also a higher level of self-esteem and a better quality of social relationships.

Trondheim Early Secure Study (TESS)

Jolene is also a member of the TESS-research group. TESS started in 2007 and comprises a sample of 1,250 children drawn from the 2003 and 2004 birth cohorts and their parents in Trondheim, Norway. The participants were examined when the children were 4 years old and they have been followed up biennally with in-depth interviews, questionnaires, tests, and observations.
