Research Interests & Goals:
Janet Boseovski is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her research program focuses on the nature of social judgments and decision making in early to late childhood (i.e., 3- to 12-year-old children). She also has secondary interests in the development of theory of mind (mental state reasoning), executive functioning, and children’s learning in informal settings (e.g., science centers and museums).
