Purpose And Identity Development Across The Lifespan

3 units

Throughout the lifespan, people are considering who they are and where they want to go in life. These challenges are never “done” and instead one continues to engage with self-exploration and commitment. This class will consider the multifaceted nature of purpose and identity development. Lectures will focus on integrating perspectives on these processes from human development, personality and social psychology, philosophical psychology, and lifespan development.
