Dr. Daniel Hart is interested in the study of human development, particularly, the intersection of personality with adaptation and development. He tries to understand what the components of personality are, the ways in which personality influences successful adjustment to different social contexts, and how the components of personality are acquired over the course of development. He has written or edited five books, including Colby & Hart, Character and Competence: Developmental Pathways and Killen & Hart, Morality in everyday life: Developmental Perspectives  (and for one of the books he received the Outstanding Book Award for 1996 from the American Educational Research Association, Moral Development and Education Special Interest Group).

Grant Foundation funded "The Development of Civic Competence in Adolescence,” a joint 2-year project between research teams at the Catholic University of America and at Rutgers University. More...
