Overview

Master of Arts in Psychology _ Developmental Psychology

Note: Students interested in applying to the developmental area may indicate a potential supervisor(s) faculty members from either the area faculty or associate faculty listed above.

The faculty currently has two core members in the developmental area: Tanya Broesch and Jeremy Carpendale

It has a strong research presence in the developmental science community, and as a group, it excels in the area of social, moral, and cross-cultural development

Each of the faculty members is strongly connected to the discipline, giving international invited talks, and publishing in well-read venues.

Broesch is a leading researcher in the field of culture and development and takes a community-engaged and participant-led approach to her research. 

She is currently running an SSHRC-funded multi-site project with international collaborators on socialization practices across cultures

Broesch’s work has highlighted the role of the cultural context in development across the world, including at her current research site in Vanuatu.

Carpendale has co-authored three books, edited several more, and published well over 100 peer-reviewed articles and chapters

He is a leader in developmental psychology and is well-recognized worldwide as a top expert in children’s early development

In combination, the faculty investigate timely and critical research questions that push the field of Developmental Psychology forward in three major ways, including:  

  • The use of multiple methods in controlled and “field” settings
  • The expansion of the field’s reach, to include a greater diversity of participants and researchers
  • The importance of examining experience and context in balance with controlled experimental studies
