PSYC 215: Seminar in Evolutionary Psychology
4.00 Credits
Washington and Lee University
Prerequisite: PSYC 111, 112, 113, or 114, or permission of the instructor. The purpose of this course is to examine evolutionary theory as a means of explaining human behavior. The main premise is that behaviors such as cooperation, aggression, mate selection, and intelligence exist because individuals exhibiting these behaviors were more likely to produce healthy offspring that perpetuated those behaviors (i.e., natural selection). We evaluate the validity of this argument in a number of areas of human behavior and also discuss how culture has shaped our genes. Evolutionary psychology is not an area of psychology, like social psychology or cognitive psychology, but is instead a lens through which all human behavior can be explained. Though it is tempting to engage in “arm chair” application of evolutionary theory to behavior, this is a science course; all arguments must be backed up with data. Whiting.

PSYC 230: Contemporary Issues in Child Development
3.00 Credits
Washington and Lee University
Prerequisites: PSYC 113 and permission of the instructor. The specific topic in this course will vary from year to year. However, each involves seminars on current problems or issues related to the development of children. Examples include issues in child and family policy; effect of media on children; and effects of poverty on families. Some topics require students to participate in observation and/or testing of children in addition to classroom work. May be repeated for degree credit with permission and if the topics are different.

PSYC 235: Effects of Poverty on Families and Children
3.00 Credits
Washington and Lee University
Prerequisite: PSYC 113 or POV 101. This course explores the problem of child and family poverty, the issues it raises for psychologists and social policy makers, and the implications that poverty and social policy have for children’s development. This class explores how children’s perceptions of the world, or their place in it, are affected by economically stressed families. Margand.
