PH D PROGRAM IN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY AT THE GRADUATE CENTER OF THE CITY
UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK.
The central focus of the program is on development as a process embedded in
socio-cultural contexts. This means, for example, that we strive to practice
research in a way that reflects how interactions between individuals as well
as their experiences/activities within real life settings matter in the
development of their cognition, language, moral reasoning, self, and gender
identity. Particular social and cultural contexts concern, for example, the
effects of medical trauma, urban poverty, literacy, work-place environments,
gender, minority status, and urban schooling. In addition, as a scan of
faculty interests will show, we have a strong representation in infancy and
memory research as well as health, environmental, and social personality
development.
Faculty and student research is broad and interdisciplinary, encompassing
both qualitative and quantitative approaches in basic and applied domains of
inquiry.
The range of developmental topics studied includes such classical areas as
Cognition, Social Development, Infancy, Perceptual Development, and Language
Development and such emerging areas as Sociocultural Theory, Cultural
Psychology, Narrative Analysis, Semiotics, Activity Theory, Adult
Development, Pediatric Psychology, and Environmental Psychology. While our
basic research draws upon the resources of New York City and often has been
cited as evidential bases for social policy, many of our faculty and
students also engage in applied research directly addressing practical
problems related to the quality of life.
