Peer Relationships and Development in Childhood and Adolescence

4 Credits

This course focuses on children and adolescents’ development within the context of their relationships with peers. In this course we will examine how close friendships, the broader peer group, and romantic relationships influence youths’ development and well-being (e.g., the development of psychopathology), how individual characteristics affect peer relations (e.g., gender identity), and contextual factors that impact peer relationship (e.g., sociocultural background).
