SOCIAL INFLUENCES ON
ADOLESCENT/EMERGING ADULT DEVELOPMENT
Dr. Christy Rogers
This graduate seminar will explore foundational and innovative research on social influences that shape adolescent development into emerging adulthood. Discussions will illuminate ways in which parents, peers, siblings, and romantic partners contribute to socio-emotional, cognitive, and biological development across the teenage and emerging adult years. Furthermore, we will examine the potential benefits and consequences of these relationships on adolescent development, as well as their similarities and differences.
Special topics will include social influences on:
• risk taking
• academic processes
• self-regulation
• dating and sexuality
• bullying and rejection
• the developing brain
