Welcome

The Pellegrini Human Development Lab is a venue where Human Development students and faculty engage in joint research projects, often resulting in joint publications and presentations as well as dissertations and theses. Over the course of the past few years, we have examined the how different types of competition (scramble vs contest) lead to preschool children's use of different behavioral strategies to establish and maintain social dominance. As part of this program of research we are currently examining the role of reconciliation in social dominance and children's theory of mind in choice of behavioral strategies.
