This important volume deals with the issue of how to make
comparisons in the field of human development. In their comparisons
of various social groups, social scientists generally focus on what
the differences are, rather than elucidating how and why the groups
differ. Comparisons in Human Development examines ways in which
different disciplines have treated comparisons and development and
provides empirical examples that take a comparative, developmental
approach to human activity and thought. Contributors share the view
that the study of development must be concerned with processes that
operate over time and are regulated by their physical, biological,
social and cultural contexts. Development is understood in systemic
terms, with multidirectional influences that cross levels of
analysis, including the cellular, the individual, the family, and
the cultural and historical.
