School of Education faculty and doctoral students presented at the 2018 Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) Special Topics Character Development Meeting in Philadelphia, October 18-20.
SRCD "brings together developmental scientists, philosophers, educators, and practitioners to advance theory, research, and program practices pertinent to understanding character development as it occurs within and across the key settings of youth development. The program featured, among other topics, findings from longitudinal studies of character, work by biologists and epigenetic researchers who study social genomics and the mutually influential relations between individual and context, and practitioners within family, school, and out-of-school settings whose programs seek to promote character development. Other sessions focused on the development of measures of character development that reflect both change-sensitive and context-specific aspects of character, including its cultural variation, and evaluation strategies for assessing programs designed to promote character virtue development" (https://www.srcd.org/).
