This course explores the developmental changes that occur in close relationships (e.g., parent, sibling, peer) across the lifespan, from infancy through late adulthood, and the differing roles these relationships play in the development and behavior of the individual. The impact of significant relationship events (e.g., divorce, marriage) on development will also be examined. Recommended prerequisite: Psychology 101, 102, or 104.
