Intraindividual variability (IIV) of human development and behavior
across the entire life-span is explored in this new book. Leading
researchers summarize recent findings on the extent, role, and
function of IIV in human development with a focus on how, when, and
why individuals change over time. The latest theoretical,
methodological, and technological advances are reviewed. The book
explores the historical and theoretical background and challenges
of IIV research along with its role and function in childhood,
adolescence, and adulthood. Edited to maximize consistency and
accessibility, each chapter includes an introduction and a review
of the research and most explore future directions, new theoretical
developments, and conclusions and implications. Readers are shown
that by focusing on the individual as a unit of analysis across
different time scales, conditions, and situations, researchers can
effectively demonstrate behavioral and developmental regularities
at different points of the life-span. As such this book is a must
have for anybody interested in IIV research. The book explores:
-New designs and methods for the analysis of intensive repeated
measures data. -The importance of real-time data for more time
sensitive and ecologically valid measurements. -The role and
function of intraindividual variability in behavior and development
across the life-span -- from infancy to later life. -Numerous
examples of how intraindividual variability research is conducted.
-Topics and findings that are commonly treated in disparate bodies
of literature from various disciplines. Part 1 provides a
historical, conceptual, and methodological overview of the study of
intraindividual variability (IIV). IIV during childhood and
adolescence and its application in the investigation of development
of language acquisition, infant-parent interactions, development of
motor skills, cognitive development, mood regulation, and identity
development are examined in Part 2. Part 3 focuses on IIV during
adult development, including its use in neuropsychological
functioning and attention and in personality development and mood
regulation. IIV in the context of adults' health behavior is also
reviewed. Part 4 examines the key issues and challenges of IIV
research in human development such as whether IIV in adult
development is an indicator of vulnerability or resilience, the
association between short-term IIV and long-term developmental
change, and multiple time-scale design and analysis. The volume
concludes with a look at the future of intraindividual variation
analysis. Intended for advanced students and researchers in
developmental psychology across the life-span, social, personality,
and health psychology, as well as sociology, family studies,
gerontology, education, and medicine, interested in intraindividual
variability of behavior and its role in human development, this
book also serves as a text for graduate courses on longitudinal
analysis, multilevel modeling, and/or (advanced) data analysis
offered in these departments. Knowledge in human development or
life course sociology and graduate-level statistics is recommended.
