Title Relevance of social relationships for development during childhood and adolescence
Description Content: Development occurs in an interplay of genetic preconditions and environmental influences. Especially in infancy and early childhood, individuals depend on their close caregivers to master developmental tasks. Development cannot be viewed isolated from social relationships. While parents or other caregivers in various care relationships are fundamental in the first years of life, other social relationships become more relevant as the child ages. For example, play behavior in preschool develops from non-social solitary play to more social forms of play. As children develop language and self-regulatory skills, they increasingly engage in socially regulating their behavior. Relationships with peers are developed and become more meaningful. What is the relevance of these different social relationships for development in childhood and adolescence? What are related opportunities and risks? The proseminar provides an overview of different social relationships that can play a significant role in the development of an individual.

Requirements: Attending the proseminar is highly demanding: Independent reading of the empirical literature, holding a short presentation in small groups, and continuous seminar attendance (max. 2 missed dates) is required. In the practical part of the course, a product (i.e., short video, flyer, article) will be developed. The evaluation includes a group presentation and the finalized product.
