This bestselling textbook provides an engaging introduction to 11 major theories about human development that continue to guide research, intervention, and practice. The theories are grouped into three families: those that emphasize biological systems, those that focus on environmental factors, and those that reflect the interaction between the two. This organization encourages readers to evaluate, compare, and contrast key theoretical ideas both within and across families. Pedagogical features foster critical thinking and an active approach to learning. Each family of theories is introduced with a brief overview of their unique perspectives and the rationale for grouping them together. Discussion of each theory includes the cultural/historical context within which the theory developed, key concepts and ideas, extensions of the theory in new directions, a research example, an illustration of how the theory is applied in contemporary practice, and an analysis of how the theory answers six basic questions that a theory of human development should address. Each chapter begins with a case example and related application. There is expanded visual material throughout to enhance and extend key concepts. The third edition also features: a new chapter, "Social Justice Theory," which addresses definitions of social justice, the development of social justice reasoning, emotional foundations, and behaviors related to activism, with particular focus on societal conditions of privilege and disadvantage that create social inequities and impact developmental outcomes consideration of social justice themes as they emerge across theories an increased focus on how theories account for and characterize individual differences, and the value of diversity for human adaptation a new emphasis on gender and sexual identities across theories greater attention to the role of culture as it is featured within each theory, as a component of the macro environment, and as it is internalized through socialization processes a revised epilogue, focusing on implications for family dynamics and links from theory to practice By focusing on theories that have had a major impact on development science, this book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in theories of development, lifespan, or child development, taught in the fields of psychology, human development, family studies, education, and social work.
