Welcome to the website of the

Social Development Research Program.

 

We are housed within the Department of Psychology on the Newark campus of Rutgers University.

Our work examines social-contextual factors that shape behavioral development throughout the lifespan. We maintain a focus on the development of aggressive behavior, and how contextual forces such as neighborhood poverty and violence interact with individual characteristics to influence habitual aggressive responding from childhood through adulthood.
