应用心理学哲学博士-应用发展心理学

应用心理学为增进生活和解决社会问题创造了理解和解决方案。在我们的研究中，我们使用科学来产生知识，以指导行动并在日常生活的背景和环境中制定政策。我们将问题带到种族，阶级，性别，文化，年龄和残疾状况各异的社区，企业和非营利组织，学校和家庭。这使我们的科学不仅经常与国内外其他研究人员合作，而且还与生活和工作环境中的人们合作。通过合作，我们努力让社区合作者使用和维持我们共同学习的知识。<br> <br>应用发展心理学侧重于如何利用有关人类发展的知识和研究来帮助解决现实世界中的问题。该计划强调在整个生命周期中不断变
Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on how knowledge and research regarding human development can be used to help solve real world problems. The program emphasizes developmental methodology and research on development within changing social, cultural, and historical contexts across the life-span. The major focus is Developmental Science and Education, with special attention to the development of motivation, mindfulness, self and identity, and coping in the context of relationships with parents, teachers, and peers. An emerging theme is the implementation and evaluation of strategies to improve the developmental contexts of children and youth as well as their teachers. Portland State University offers training in the interdisciplinary specialty of Developmental Science and Education. Faculty and graduate and undergraduate students share a common interest in understanding schools as primary cultural contexts of human learning and development. Research projects focus on the learning, development, and well-being of students, their peers and teachers, and school staff. Developmental science and education is also concerned with the application of research strategies and knowledge from the developmental disciplines to address issues facing educators and parents. DeSE is particularly interested in working with schools who serve students from racial and ethnic minority, immigrant, and low income families. DeSE training is available to students in all areas of psychology as well as students from other fields.
