PSYCH 450 : Parenting Research and Applications

This seminar is designed to provide students with a greater understanding of socialization processes and to examine the purposive and agentic nature of social relationships. Parenting, mentoring, and teaching issues will be explored across ethnicity, culture, and the lifespan (from conception to adulthood). Various theoretical perspectives will be introduced in understanding the role of others on children’s achievement and the psychological adjustment. It is expected that students will develop knowledge and skills to apply to the “real world.”
