  • MSC 654: Counseling & Consultation of Adolescents

    3.00 Credits
    Lincoln University of Pennsylvania

    An overview of the basic concepts of research and theory (both historical and current) in the field of adolescent psychology is essential for individuals to grasp the developmental and sociological functioning of adolescents. This course will utilize scholarly inquiry and will be self-directed in the form of an independent research project. The basic concepts of research and theory will be measured by the quizzes, papers, and examinations administered in class. As the basic concepts of adolescent psychology are attained, critical thinking/perspectives will be developed as individuals are asked in large and small groups to compare and contrast research designs, cultural constructs, and social interventions. Developing a critical perspective is essential to predict behavioral and affective outcomes and formulate hypotheses for future research/clinical endeavors related to adolescent psychology. Finally, through discussions, in-class writings, and class activities students will be able to assess their own development and assumptions as they relate to social and cultural expectations about adolescents and research targeted at this population.
