Committee on Social Development (348 words) |
 | The committee on Social Development was established pursuant to ESCWA resolution 198 (VVII) of 31 May 1994, which was approved by the Economic and Social Council on July 26 1994 by its resolution 1994/27. |
| The setting-up of the committee was inspired by steps taken by other UN regional commissions to establish specialized committees on social Development to coordinate social development activities taking into account the conditions, cultural realities and social structure of the States of the region and their economic and social development needs. |
| Eventually, the Committee held its first session in Amman on 25 and 26 March 2001; its second session in Beirut on 7 and 8 April 1999; and its third session in Beirut on 27 and 28 March 2001. |
| The Committee on Human Development (1954 words) |
| The committee offers programs of research and graduate study in life course development (including child and adolescent development, adult development and aging, and philosophy of development), personality, emotions and psychopathology, cross cultural studies (including psychological anthropology and cultural psychology), biosocial psychology (including behavioral biology and social neuroscience), and clinical psychology. |
| The Committee on Human Development is a leading center for training in psychological anthropology, cultural psychology, the study of culture and mental health, and the cross-cultural study of human development. |
| In the area of comparative development, we use nonhuman primate models of parenting and development to investigate social, emotional, and endocrine aspects of mother-infant attachment and infant development, with particular emphasis on interindividual variability both within and outside the normal range. |
