New Fall Term Course Just Added!
PSY 1355: Adolescence
Tu/Th 9:30am - 10:45am
135 CL
Adolescence is one of the most rapidly changing periods of the lifespan. This course will cover the fundamentals of psychological development during adolescence by exploring how the psychological, biological, and social changes that occur across this timeframe impact the development of the self, identity, and relationships. We will explore how these changes are tied to psychopathology, risk behaviors, and positive development during adolescence, and how development during the adolescent period sets the stage for functioning in adulthood. A major emphasis of this course will be on the role of interpersonal and sociocultural contexts of adolescent development.

Paid Study Participation
We are inviting you to participate in two studies, the Interpersonal Interaction Study and Dyadic Interaction Study!
These studies involve a very brief screening survey to determine whether you are eligible, and then a 1-hour session where you will come into the lab and answer questions about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, and potentially complete a reading and writing task. Additionally, we will ask you to have a conversation with other participants.
While there is no compensation for filling out the brief screening survey, eligible participants can earn $20 for each study!
To sign up for each study, you can take a brief screening survey by following the links below:
1. Interpersonal Interaction Study: https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bmwSoIcSrEmGKZE
2. Dyadic Interaction Study: https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7Uw27JzbOKjSaPQ
These studies have been reviewed by the University of Pittsburgh’s IRB.
If you have any questions, please contact the lab manager, Nalanda Ray, at IIRLAB@pitt.edu.
