Faculty in the Developmental Psychology program focus in their research on the development of emotional, social and cognitive processes in real-world contexts from the prenatal period and infancy through late adulthood. Faculty are especially interested in development from an adaptation and plasticity framework. They examine:

how prenatal and early childhood experiences get “under the skin” by calibrating biological systems involved in physical and psychological development,
how individuals across the life span adapt to life stress (including chronic illness),
how diverse ecological and cultural contexts affect cognitive, moral, and identity development (including gender and sexual development)
why some individuals exhibit greater resilience and adaptive skills in the face of adversity
statistical techniques that address theories of how, when, and why people change across time.

Faculty in the Developmental Psychology program collaborate extensively with other faculty within the department and with faculty in other departments across campus (e.g., anthropology, gender studies, pediatrics, sociology) and interdisciplinary centers (e.g., Consortium for Families and Health Research, Utah Center for Reproductive Health, Diabetes and Metabolism Center, Utah Network for LGBTQ).
