概要/Outline
This course will explore the roles of culture and other contextual factors as they relate to human development, particularly in today’s global society. Although much attention will be paid to infancy through young adulthood, the entire lifespan will be discussed. Various classic and contemporary theories and empirical research will be reviewed, and the primary approach will be psychological rather than sociological or anthropological (in that individual-level processes and experiences are generally emphasized over macro-level phenomena). In this interactive course, students will engage in in-class demonstrations and observations, and there will be a culminating project, through which students will collaboratively examine an instructor-approved theme along the issues discussed in the course.
到達目標/Objectives
授業の内容/Contents
The topics to be discussed in this course will include the following:
• Introduction
• Theories and perspectives of human development: A brief overview
• The cultural assumptions of psychological theories and research
• Culture and socialization (incl. informal and formal education): Pre-birth through late adulthood
• Family (and similar relationships) in context: Birth, childcare, parenting through death and dying
• Immigrant experiences
• Cognition, language and culture
• The self in context
• Sex, gender and sexuality as culturally-defined concepts
• Culture and health: Lessons from “katakori”
• Group project and presentation

Discussion leading:
During Class 1, each student will be assigned to a small group. Each group will receive a short scholarly article on a topic relevant to the course. Based on the article, working collaboratively, each group will lead a group discussion, providing an overview of the article and explaining the relevant theories, the methods employed, the results, and the implications. Further instructions will be given in class.

Group project:
Each student will participate in a small group project, based upon which s/he is to: (a) write a brief report individually; and (b) give an in-class presentation on the project with his/her teammates. Some of the class meeting time will be devoted to the completion of the project; as such, it is imperative that you make every effort to attend class.
