We spent a fair bit of time talking about the role of culture and family obligation in adolescent development. Two students brought in articles by Telzer, Fuligni, Lieberman, and others that examined how family obligation and or family assistance relate to neural markers of risk taking and reward.
We also brought in several papers about sibling influences on risk taking, including work by Whiteman (a grad of our program) and colleagues examining sibling influences on substance use, deviant behaviors, and sexual risk taking.
We also talked a fair bit about divorce, including developmental differences in effects of divorce, and factors that might moderate divorce’s effects.
