Children and adolescents’ relations with their peers play a major role in their overall development. Peers contribute to social behaviors – prosocial or antisocial – and to psychological well-being well beyond the combined influences of parents, siblings, teachers and neighbourhood. This course explains how peer relations matter for all domains of child and adolescent development, through an examination of both normative and abnormal behaviors and thought processes.
The course includes 8 lectures. Most lectures have assigned readings, which will be communicated at the latest one week before the lecture (the articles will be available on this Moodle page) and discussed at the end of the lecture. Active participation is expected!
