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).
Dr. Hart is currently involved in a study of
the development of civic competence in adolescence. The
William T. 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... |
