PSYC 386 - Advanced Topics in Social Development


This capstone seminar explores various topics in social development.

Fall 2016

This course will explore theories and research in social and personality development.  Beginning in infancy and moving through adolescence, we will examine how children form connections with others and become part of a social world while at the same time becoming individuals with unique experiences, perspectives, and self-concepts.  For each session there will be substantive areas covered (e.g., peer influences, parenting, gender roles) as well as focus on a specific methodological/ statistical issue in developmental research (e.g., measuring change). 

This course may be repeatable for credit.

Anticipated Terms Offered: Offered periodically
