The world is filled with variations in children's and adolescents' home and school environments that influence how we develop, individually and in groups. In this seminar, we will consider quantitative cross-cultural and universalist perspectives and methods for testing competing hypotheses about human development in an international context.
Open to Graduate Psychology majors only. As part of the seminar, we will work in teams on secondary data analysis and manuscript writing (with the goal of submitting papers for publication) using data from the Parenting Across Cultures project: http://parentingacrosscultures.org
