PSYC2720 Adolescent Psychology
Learners investigate the scientific study of the biological, psychological, cognitive, emotional, personality, and social changes that occur during adolescence. Using major theories and research findings, learners evaluate the effects of physical growth, genetics, culture, gender roles, sexuality, and family relationships on adolescent development, and analyze education and vocational factors to build a deeper understanding of adolescent development. Learners also assess how culture and mental health issues can influence values and beliefs about adolescents.
