Disciplines/Subjects: AP Psychology
Key Themes: Adolescent development, subjective well-being, family relationship, social-emotional learning
Being embedded in the chapter of Developmental Psychology in the AP Psychology class, this project focuses on promoting both learners’ understanding of well-being and their research skills. Currently, in the most formative phase of their lives, learners often find themselves confused by changes in both their bodies and the environment around them. By connecting their subject well-being to one other variable of their own choice, learners are expected to deepen their understanding of their well-being in the context of adolescent social-emotional development through scientific lenses as well as certain psychological research methods.
