Ringkasan program

This program specializes in research on the development of social and cognitive processes from infancy through late adulthood. The faculty seeks to understand developmental changes in individuals’ thoughts, feelings, and communication within real-life situations like families, schools, and relationships. Within these contexts, faculty examine diverse issues, including lifespan changes in emotions, communication, sense of self, and social cognition; how mental representations influence problem solving; the formation, maintenance, and dissolution of peer relationships; how socio-moral and interpersonal conflicts are understood and resolved from different perspectives; social influences on mental and physical well-being at different stages of life; biological processes underlying attachment bonds; how narratives in conversation regulate development; how people and their families cope with chronic health problems within their social worlds; the prevention of behavioral disorders in childhood; and the development of sexuality and sexual identity. This program offers broad training in developmental psychology, methodology, and allied disciplines (especially clinical, social, cross-cultural, and health psychology, gerontology, gender studies, and education). Its goal is to provide students with a solid background in theoretical issues and in the design and conduct of research. Students are encouraged to tailor their program to suit their career goals through coursework, specialized projects, and individual work with faculty members.
