Developmental Psychology 421: Social-Cultural Nature of Child Development
4.00 Credits
Allegheny College
An advanced course on human development. The assumptions embedded in alternative theories of development are examined. Special attention is paid to the profound impact of the social niche on child development. Rather than describing age-related statuses of the North American child, the processes of development are considered through exploration of diverse cultures. The intersection between personal and collective culture is examined in terms of such issues as the social organization of pregnancy and childbirth, social development in infancy and childhood, cultural transmission via informal and formal educations, and the transition from childhood into incipient adulthood. Prerequisites: Psychology 206 and 160, 162 or 164.
