(A)typical Social (& Emotional) Development (PSY624O) Spring 2013, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 09:30-10:45, Flipse 302 Daniel Messinger, Ph.D. (DMessinger@Miami.edu) (Homepage) 305-284-8443 Office: 5665 Ponce de Leon (Psych. Annex), Room 308 Office Hours: Wednesdays 09:00-11:00 and by appointment. You are responsible for having an up-to-date copy of this syllabus (only available on-line) http://www.psy.miami.edu/faculty/dmessinger/c_c/SD_Grad/grad_sd_syll13.html |
Objective:
The goal of the course is to review contemporary theory, research, and
methods relevant to understanding social and emotional development,
particularly during childhood. The course focuses on both normative and
atypical development; an understanding of one enriches an
understanding of the other. Individual differences, sociocultural diversity,
and a historical perspective on the study of all these themes, will be
emphasized throughout.
Topics:
|
Readings: Empirical and review articles from the literature are available on-line (click the indicated reading; they are in Acrobat which can be downloaded here). If a reading assignment does not specify page numbers, the entire article is assigned. If a reading assignment is marked as "Extra," it is suggested but not required. Almost all lectures will be available from the links below.
|
Class Sessions. I will provide overview and basic background material to inform our discussion. Some of this material will be in the form of PowerPoint slides that I will review in class and post on-line (I will also include links to some interesting supplementary web-sites). Illustrative videos and in-class activities will help us get a real-flavor for some of the topics (i.e. coding security of attachment). In addition, there will be some memorization of basic points and there will be testing and pop quizzes related to the readings and key points. Please have access to the readings (hard copy or electronic) during class sessions.
Preparing readings for class discussion. Review the reading as a starting point for leading a class discussion. Summarize the central point and the main points (main points!) of the article; then tell us what the most interesting issues for discussion emerge from the article. Limit your presentations to 5 minutes. End with a couple of questions about the meaning of this article and its message in terms of other readings, larger issues, your own work, etc. Please write-up your notes that summarize the reading and suggest discussion points in 2-3 PowerPoint slides. These should be emailed to the class the evening before class and brought to class with handouts for all. Download the PowerPoint slides that I have prepared for the class and indicate how your material can be integrated. The goal is to encourage class participation and discussion. |
The final project should concern typical or atypical
social/emotional development. You
should find a project that interests you and will help you professionally
(consult with your advisor). Alternatives for a final project: 1) A publication quality research project such as a draft of a thesis. The idea is to learn about social and emotional development by doing research that will facilitate your career goals. 2) A NIH R03/R01 or NSF grant proposal (6, 12, or 15 single-spaced pages, respectively). The idea here is to tie together your knowledge of an area with a proposal to do research in this area. 3) A publication quality literature reviews in summary-article/chapter format (i.e., organized by theme, not by reading).
Collaborative proposals and presentations are allowed. They must include a significant component of individual work for each collaborator and must result in a proportionately higher quality final project (e.g., 2 people could collaborate on a RO1 proposal).
Finally, final papers that involve contributing to Wikipedia are a possibility and a possible requirement.
During the last class session(s), you will make a
verbal presentation of their projects.
Dates to remember: For all of these dates be prepared to present and discuss your final project. 1/29: One paragraph single-spaced summary. 2/14: One page single-spaced abstract of intended final project. 3/7: 2 page single-spaced abstract of your final project is due . 4/2: First draft of final paper. Monday 4/15: PowerPoint presentations of final project.
4/26: Final paper due.
Other. Class Attendance: Class attendance is mandatory. Unexcused absences will lower the class presentation portion of your grade.
Make-up exams: There will be no make-up exams. |

Overview:
Temperament, emotion, attachment, the self, and the broader context of social
and emotional development. Greenspan & Shanker. Describe Greenspan and Shanker's (G&S) description of the transformation in emotional and intellectual growth. How do they relate to Erikson's (E) levels? Using G&S (or E), identify times in your own development that correspond to their levels? Describe times in the development of someone younger than yourself and someone older than yourself in terms of Greenspan and Shanker's levels.
