Claire B. Kopp

Claire B. Kopp, PhD, until her death in 2019, was a developmental psychologist whose research interests focus primarily on the social and emotional development of young children, with particular emphasis on the development of regulatory processes. Her writings also addressed biosocial risk factors that adversely influence children’s development. Dr. Kopp published widely in these areas, with research funded by both federal and private agencies. She taught at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Claremont Graduate University, served as a source of developmental information for parenting magazines, and consulted with public and private agencies on early development.
