Housed at the University of California, Berkeley, the Greater Good Science
Center (GGSC) is "devoted to the scientific understanding of happy and
compassionate individuals, strong social bonds, and altruistic behavior." To
achieve this goal, the GGSC enlists a broad range of scholars from various
disciplines, publishes a quarterly magazine ("Greater Good"), and maintains
an outreach program that includes a website designed for parents who wish to
foster emotional intelligence in their children. On their homepage, visitors
can look over the "What's New?" area to learn about recent findings, view
webcasts with experts from the Center, and also read about their latest
publications. Next, visitors may want to go to the "Magazine" area to read
articles from the latest issue of "Greater Good" magazine. This publication
has been nominated for a number of awards, and topics covered between its
pages include the importance of play and the binuclear family. Finally, the
"For Parents" area contains a number of fine resources on parenting,
including a number of short videos that cover emotional literacy, how to
praise, and the value of family dinner.
