This third edition of Child Psychology continues the tradition of
showcasing cutting-edge research in the field of developmental
science, including individual differences, dynamic systems and
processes, and contexts of development. While retaining a similar
structure to the last edition, this revision consists of completely
new content with updated programmatic research and contemporary
research trends and interests. The first three sections highlight
research that is organized chronologically by age: Infancy,
Childhood, and Adolescence. Within each section, individual
chapters address contemporary research on a specific area of
development, such as learning, cognition, social, and emotional
development at that period in childhood. The fourth section,
Ecological Influences, emphasizes contextual influences relevant to
children of all ages, including risk and protective processes,
family and neighborhood context, race and ethnicity, peer
relations, the effects of poverty, and the impact of the digital
world. Child Psychology also features a unique focus on four
progressive themes. First, emphasis is placed on theory and
explanation-the "why and how" of the developmental process. Second,
explanations of a transactional and multidimensional nature of
development are at the forefront of all chapters. Third, the
multi-faceted approach to development highlights contextual
influences and cultural diversity among children from different
communities and backgrounds. Finally, methodological innovation is
a key concern, and research tools presented across chapters span
the full array available to developmental scientists who focus on
different systems and levels of analysis. The thoroughness and
depth of this book, in addition to its methodological rigor, make
it an ideal handbook for researchers, practitioners, policy makers,
and advanced students across a range of disciplines, including
psychology, education, economics and public policy.
