Developmental psychology

Developmental psychology is the study of psychological changes life over a span of time. I have always been soley interested in psychology but after taking this class I believe I have found what facinates me the most. To watch how someone develops from the time of conception to the elderly years and to see what factors may or may not contribute to who they become or who they do not become is incredible. This class has challenged me to look into topics that we have discussed on a deeper level. I think I have read more in these past five weeks than I have in my entire school career, not by just reading the readings but also looking things up and reading extra study's. The level of depth that can be reached in so many different ways under so many different topics is outstanding. So to sum up my last blog, here is a link to a study that I would love to be apart of. It is a perfect study for developmental psychologists, along with psychology itself as a whole. Its just to bad it is completely unethical and would never get approved by the Instituational Review Board but its a nice thought to branch out from and a good laugh as well.
