The problem of development is central in the study of emotional
life for two basic reasons. First, emotional life so clearly
changes (dramatically in the early years) with new emotional
reactions emerging against the backdrop of an increasing
sensitivity to context and with self-regulation of emotion emerging
from a striking dependence on regulatory assistance from
caregivers. Such changes demand developmental analysis. At the same
time, understanding such profound changes will surely inform our
understanding of the nature of development more generally. The
complexity of emotional change, when grasped, will reveal the
elusive nature of development itself. At the outset, we know that
development is complex. We must take seriously what is present at
any given phase, including the newborn period, because a
developmental analysis disallows something emerging from noth ing.
Still, it is equally nondevelopmental to posit that new forms of
new processes were simply present in their precursors. Rather,
development is characterized by transformations in which more
complex structures and organization "emerge" from new integration
of prior components and new capacities. These new forms and
organizations cannot be specified from prior conditions but are due
to transactions of the evolving organism with its environment over
time. They are not simply in the genome, and they are not simply
conditioned by the environment. They are the result of the develop
mental process."
