Separation-individuation is a developmental process through which individuals renegotiate self-other boundaries. Although this process is thought to be critically engaged in the first years of life, it is generally agreed that adolescence and young adulthood constitute a “second phase” wherein these issues are renegotiated in light of the developmental tasks common to this age period (Blos, 196...

We present evidence that each task can be addressed through two deeply different cultural pathways through development: the pathways of independence and interdependence. Whereas core theories in developmental psycholog...

From sixth to eighth grade, White and African American students were surveyed twice yearly (ages 11-14; Study 1, N = 277). African American students were more aware of racial bias in school disciplinary decisions, and as this awareness grew it predicted a loss of trust in school, leading to a large trust gap in seve...

It has been noted in recent years that groups ofgenes are often used at multiple stages and multiple places of development. Comparison of the functions of each group of genes in different developmental context gave rise to the notion of "functional gene cassettes." These groups of genes can often be viewed as sets of tools; each group is suited to carry out a certain operation and may serve sim...

Whereas adults largely base their evaluations of others' actions on others' intentions, a host of research in developmental psychology suggests that younger children privilege outcome over intention, leading them to condemn accidental harm. To date, this question has been examined only with children capable of language production. In the current studies, we utilized a non-linguistic puppet show...
