This comprehensive guide offers a rich introduction to research methods, experimental design and data analysis techniques in developmental science, emphasizing the importance of an understanding of this area of psychology for any student or researcher interested in examining development across the lifespan. The expert contributors enhance the reader's knowledge base, understanding of methods, and critical thinking skills in their area of study. They cover development from the prenatal period to adolescence and old age, and explore key topics including the history of developmental research, ethics, animal models, physiological measures, eye-tracking, and computational and robotics models. They accessibly explore research measures and design in topics including gender identity development, the influence of neighborhoods, mother-infant attachment relationships, peer relationships in childhood, prosocial and moral development patterns, developmental psychopathology and social policy, and the examination of memory across the lifespan. Each chapter ends with a summary of innovations in the field over the last ten years, giving students and interested researchers a thorough overview of the field and an idea of what more is to come. Conducting Research in Developmental Psychology is essential reading for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students seeking to understand a new area of developmental science, developmental psychology, and human development. It will also be of interest to junior researchers who would like to enhance their knowledge base in a particular area of developmental science, human development, education, biomedical science, or nursing.

Little did Nancy Jones suspect what lay ahead for her when she thought that pasteurising milk in Mauritania would be a good idea. Her dream dairy just had to overcome a few minor hurdles: there were no cows in the desert, only restless camels; Mauritanians loved raw milk but regarded local industry with mistrust; there was no trained manpower; the technical environment was almost nonexistent; importers ruled the market - and she was a woman. Nancy Abeiderrahmane, as she became, wandered into a twenty-year-long adventure that would earn her a Rolex Award and a few medals, and more importantly offer her a unique experience of the pitfalls and transformations that lie on the rocky road to Development.

Le jour ou vint a Nancy Jones l'idee de pasteuriser du lait en Mauritanie, elle etait loin de se douter que ce qui lui semblait une bonne idee etait le debut d'une aventure au quotidien. Sans trop s'attarder sur des broutilles telles que l'absence de vaches dans le desert (mais des chamelles plutot nomades), le manque de main d' uvre qualifiee, la mefiance des mauritaniens vis-a-vis des industries, la mainmise des importateurs sur le marche ... et le fait d'etre une femme, Nancy, devenue par mariage Abeiderrahmane, armee de son sourire et son esprit d'entreprise, s'est hasardee dans un destin improbable. Vingt ans plus tard, avec a son actif un prix Rolex et quelques medailles decernees par le gouvernement mauritanien, la reine d'Angleterre et diverses ONG, elle raconte son experience, un apercu unique des ecueils et possibilites dont est parsemee la piste sablonneuse vers le Developpement.
