Human Development Lab: Anthony Pellegrini
My research and teaching are generally concerned with children’s and adolescents’ development and include specific interests in children’s play, children's sex segregation, social dominance, and aggression. I also have methodological interests in direct behavioral observations. Recently, students in my lab have studied children’s and adolescents’ social dominance and sex segregation, as well as preschool children’s play and the cultural transmission of novel uses of objects and tools.
