Concentration in Developmental Psychology
Developmental psychologists study the psychological development of the human being that takes place throughout life. Until recently, the primary focus was on childhood and adolescence, the most formative years.
As life expectancy in this country approaches 80 years, however, developmental psychologists are becoming increasingly interested in aging - especially in researching and developing ways to help older people stay as independent as possible.
