Lecture: Topic and Outline Assignment

 Topic Choice – We will delve into the fascinating realm of psychology, exploring the

profound influence of peer relationships on adolescent cognitive development.

 Lecture Outline – This lecture is not just about theory but about understanding the real-

world implications of adolescent cognitive development. We will explore how parental

influence shifts to peer influence and how adolescents shape their identity based on peer

perception. These are key concepts that you can apply in your future work in psychology

or child development. Key focal points to be discussed:

1. Foundational Influence

2. Parents vs. Peer Relationship

3. Key Contributors to Adolescent Identity Development

4. Whose Voice is the Loudest

 Active Learning- The class will break up into small groups. Within the small groups will

be asked to recall their favorite bands/artists during their high school years. This exercise

is designed to help students reflect on how their musical preferences were influenced by

their peers during adolescence. Students will also be asked to recall the very first music

they remember hearing in their homes as a kid and whether they listen to some of the

same music today. After recalling their musical history, students will be asked to discuss

one another their similarities and those that influenced their music selections. The goal

will be to determine just how influential each influencer (parents and peers) is.
