Development of Good and Evil

4 Credits

The goal of the course is to trace the origins of children’s good (i.e., prosocial and moral) and evil (i.e., aggressive and bullying) behavior. We will examine the biological (e.g., genetic), cognitive (e.g., social information processing), and contextual factors (e.g., media, parenting, neighborhoods, and peers) that contribute to the development of children’s good and evil behavior.
