Social and Developmental Bases of Behavior.

Catalog description

Students survey and integrate two disparate but related fields of psychology—social and developmental psychology. Students review theory and research that integrates knowledge across these two fields of psychology focusing on issues such as stereotypes, prejudice, prosocial behavior, aggression, social cognition, cognitive dissonance, and conformity, as well as important topics in developmental psychology, such as attachment, cognitive development, socioemotional development, parenting styles, and risk resilience across the lifespan.
