Riverside The doctoral program in Developmental Psychology focuses on individual's development in various social contexts - families, peers, school, and culture. Emphasis is on longitudinal approaches and analyses of change and continuity across development.
Research is an integral part of the training program.
A new interdisciplinary Center for Family Studies provides opportunities to enrich training by faculty in other departments across the UCR campus. Perhaps the best way to learn about the research going on in the UCR Psychology Department is to visit the homepages of the faculty, students, and laboratories.
