The chapter describes the maturation and goals of a Finnish researcher who, from her own childhood years, had an interest in human development. Various events steered her to research this very topic. In the 1960s, she introduced a framework of emotional regulation for a longitudinal study, from middle childhood to middle adulthood, that she has conducted. The results show that individual differences in emotional regulation in childhood tend to lead to different life paths due to their accumulating effects on human development in several spheres of life. The narrative underlines how international contacts are valuable for a researcher from a small country, and how she made such contacts through extensive activities within learned societies. Also, she discusses the great value of both multidisciplinary research and the application of research findings and emphasizes the importance of developmental psychological knowledge being established in various societal contexts.
