This course introduces the processes through which environmental influences become biologically embedded and shape behavior. It provides an overview of key concepts in genetics and epigenetics and examines how environmental factors and life experiences influence development, mental health, and psychopathology through epigenetic mechanisms. The course also introduces key research methods in behavioral epigenetics and develops students’ ability to critically evaluate current research in this field.
Students will be able to: explain and discuss the implications of epigenetics for psychology; describe key epigenetic mechanisms and explain how they contribute to behavior and mental health disorders; describe research designs and methods used in behavioral epigenetics and comment on their advantages and limitations; present a selected topic in behavioral epigenetics and critically evaluate current research in the field.
