Question 2

(lecture summary):

The lecture considers family life in different socioeconomic contexts. Students are encouraged to think about the increasing social complexity of the child’s environment that may or may not be age-related (e.g., early experiences of child care, siblings) and to reflect on whether these factors matter for understanding individual differences in personality and psychological health. The lecture will examine the impact of maternal employment in shaping the use of out of home childcare and whether this matters for understanding children’s development.
