PSY 384 - Social Cognition: The Social Psychological World of the Child

Institution:

Antioch University-System Administration

Subject:

Description:

A central problem of developmental psychology is the systematic understanding of the individual's journey from helpless infant to competent social adult. This course investigates four significant areas of children's thinking: 1) the child's ability to think of others as different from her/himself; 2) the child's ability to attribute to others, inner feelings, personality traits and intentions; 3) the developmental path through which these inferences resemble the strengths and biases of adult inferences; and 4) the child's understanding of the social context, with its rules and cultural norms.
