Course materials: One book is required for this course. All other readings will be provided to you in pdf or paper format. Course goals: The goals of this course are to achieve greater understanding of key substantive areas in the literature on socioemotional development, including emotional processes, temperament/personality traits, and social behavior, covering the period from infancy to adolescence. We will approach these topics by placing socioemotional development within the broader framework of development across multiple domains, the context of its associations with psychological adjustment, and the methodological challenges of this research domain.
