Hi all. I'm putting together a reading list for a 400-level class on
social and personality development. I'm looking for help with two
different kinds of readings.
(1) I'm looking for a book chapter that does a good job of
summarizing research methodology, specifically dealing with social
and personality development. In the past, I've used a chapter out of
Schaffer's Social Devleopment book, but it's getting dated. Any suggestions?
(2) I'm also looking for a Stanovich-type book chapter (similar to
his How to Think Straight About Psychology), but geared more towards
students who have already had some background in psychology in
general. Specifically, I'd like something with more developmental
psychology examples, specifically dealing with the idea that
anecdotes, folk wisdom, and personal experience need to be taken with
a grain of salt. For those of you who are interested, we'll already
be reading a few chapters out of Harris's No Two Alike (for a
counterpoint to much of what we'll read), so I'm looking for
suggestions other than those of Harris.
Any ideas?
Mark
