<br>課程說明 (Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>From the time we are born to adulthood, how do our minds, emotions, and social 
<br>abilities develop? Developmental psychology explores how our minds and bodies 
<br>change across the lifespan, impacted by the interaction of heredity and 
<br>environment as well as the sociocultural contexts (culture, gender,
<br>socioeconomic status, race, and ethnicity, etc.) in which we are raised. Students 
<br>will be introduced to key theories, research methods, and research findings 
<br>related to human development. This course will be taught in English.
