Emotional Development

emotionaldev.jpgThe research ‘Focus’ aims at studying the emotional development from birth to adolescence.
More than intellectual capacities and academic knowledge, it is nowadays accepted that emotional
self‐control is of utmost importance for later professional and social well‐being. The ability to master
our temper, adapt, behave congruently, stay flexible, overcome fear and keep a positive attitude are
key components of success in life. The first goal of this ‘Focus’ is to better understand the processes
underlying the emotional development and characterize it. A second goal, is to identify the different
dimensions that impact emotional development, such as gender, family, scholar and social inputs. A
deeper comprehension will help tomorrow’s education leaders, as well as parents, guide children to
their maximal emotional and cognitive potential. The ‘Focus’ gives emphasis to :

  • Understand and characterize the emotional development ; how, why and when do emotions appear.
  • Comparison between Montessori and traditional schools ; evaluation of emotional competences.
  • Study interest; How does interest develops in baby?
  • Mapping the development of facial expression recognition; eye-tracking studies.

The Focus will organize meetings, workshops, and/or conferences.
