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.”
