Advanced Developmental Psychology (PSY 620Q), Fall 2018
Tuesday, Thursday 12:30PM - 1:45PM, FLP 402
Department of Psychology, University of Miami

Daniel Messinger, Ph.D., [email protected]
FLP 308, (305) 284-8443
Office Hours: Thursday 1:45 - 2:45, and by appointment

Course Description: The course is designed to involve you in current research in developmental science. It involves lecture, discussion, a mid-term exam, and a final project. Multiple topics in developmental psychology will be covered through lecture and discussion. They are organized into four sections: 1) developmental theories, methodologies and conceptualizations of the biological and cultural processes that jointly influence development; 2) specific domains of development (perceptual, cognitive, social/emotional); 3) socialization processes with an emphasis on parent, peer, school, and community influences on development; 4) emerging adulthood, parenting, and aging. Emphasis will be placed on mechanisms underlying continuity and change over the lifespan.

Course Objectives. To provide you with a) a critical understanding of current developmental theories, methods, and research; b) an ability to present, critique, and defend developmental research; and c) the capacity to integrate results to address questions in developmental science.

Required Readings: Readings are chosen to provide exposure to the theory, methods, and findings of current developmental research. An article (and occasional chapter) will be assigned for each class. If two articles are listed, the student presenting the article chooses between them. Additional readings on the syllabus are not required but exam questions may ask you to integrate material from these additional readings. Readings are linked to this syllabus. In addition, Bornstein, M. H., & Lamb, M. E. (2011) (Developmental Science: An Advanced Textbook, 6th Edition) will be available through the library and BlackBoard. 

Facilitating Discussion:

Presentations. Students will be responsible for presenting an article and facilitating class discussion approximately 2 times during the semester (30 points). Your presentations should cover the article’s unique contribution, integrative themes across the readings (particularly for that day), the pros and cons of different research methods for addressing the topic, and ideas regarding potential future directions/applications of the findings.

Evaluation. Presentations will be evaluated based on a) the clarity of your presentation and slides, b) your understanding of the article (e.g., adequacy of responses to questions), c) the depth of your communicated understanding of the issues raised by the article (e.g., what is the unique message of the article), and d) the quality of the ensuing discussion (e.g., relationship to ongoing class themes). Hallmarks of quality involve identifying strengths of the article, weaknesses, and specific, article-pertinent ideas for addressing those weaknesses. Weaker presentations often focus on common methodologic weaknesses without identifying solutions. Stronger presentations often focus on key strengths and results.

Slides. Your presentations should use Power-Point slides. I prefer large text and figure-based presentations where the title of each slide is communicative and slide titles do not repeat. In some instances, online slides exist with which to present your article. As needed, please edit the slides and/or create new slides. If you create new slides, please consider putting your last name in the footer section of the slide. The new slides—only send the slides you will be presenting—will be due by email 12 hours before class. You should have a balance of presentations with respect to using existing slides and creating new ones.

Feedback. I am available to discuss articles before your presentation. Good topics for discussion are elements of the article that are difficult to understand, and your questions about what is most important to present, and how it should be presented. In other words, if there is something about the article you are planning to present that don't understand, come discuss it with me beforehand. .

Participation, Participation refers to your level of engagement in class. Participation includes submission of 9 substantive questions pertaining to the reading by 12:00 am (midnight) before the class at which we discuss the reading. Participation includes attendance, having clearly done the required reading, asking pertinent questions, offering informed responses to questions, and constructive debate. Use of electronic devices for anything except class work is prohibited. Full credit participation should not be assumed. If you have a question about your level of presentation, I am happy to discuss. Attendance is mandatory.

Exams. Exams will be short essay format and will require students to reflect upon and integrate the readings and class discussions. Each question should be answered with a one page, single-spaced response with spaces between paragraphs (1” margins, 12-point font).

Midterm Exam. All students will complete a midterm exam (distributed Oct 2 and due Oct 10). The midterm will have three required questions (25 points).

Final Exam. Students may elect either a final paper or a final exam (35 points). The final exam will be distributed Dec 4 and due Dec 12. The final will have five to six questions.

Final paper. Students may elect either a final paper or a final exam (35 points). The final paper will concern typical or atypical developmental processes. For the final paper, choose a question relevant to your research that can be addressed from a developmental perspective emphasizing change over time. The paper must constitute new work. It can be grounded in your scientific research or can be an exploration of developmental themes unrelated to your work. In either case it should take one of the following two forms.

1) An empirical study in the form of a journal submission (10-25 double spaced pages). This is an ideal format for completing an ongoing research project.

2) A NIH F31/R03, NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, or comparable proposal to which I agree. The idea here is to tie together your knowledge of an area with a proposal to do research in this area. The final paper should include all substantive areas of the proposal (5 – 6 single-spaced pages). This is an ideal format for exploring ideas in developmental research, which are related or unrelated to your ongoing research.

3) A publication-quality literature review in summary-article format or chapter format (i.e., organized by theme, not by article (10-25 double spaced pages).

An outline of the final project is due Nov 8 and an abstract Nov 15. These are intended to crystallize your thinking and provide an opportunity for feedback. If some feature of the assignment is missing in your outline or abstract, and I do not draw your attention to its absence, this does not constitute license to omit that portion of the assignment. The final paper is due Dec 11.

Honor Code. Exams and final papers are governed by the honor code. They will be submitted through BlackBoard SafeAssign. They are governed by the Honor code. Please review the graduate honor code here

Office Hours. Office hours (listed above) or scheduled after class or by email are an ideal setting for me to assist you with your final paper, exam(s), discussion facilitation, or class participation.
