Description
Adolescence is a time of change, often conceptualized as a period of rebellion, instability, and emotional turmoil. This course will evaluate the validity of this conceptualization. We will focus on theory and research related to social and emotional development during adolescence, within the contexts of family, schools, peer groups, communities, and socio-cultural contexts. We will examine these topics through scientific theory and current research in the field of developmental psychology. By the end of the course, students should have knowledge of the most influential and current research in the field and be able to intelligently evaluate research and pressing issues in adolescent development. This course prepares students interested in clinical psychology and human service fields.
