by Richard M. Lerner, Marc H. Bornstein, Tama Leventhal The essential reference for human development theory, updatedand reconceptualizedThe Handbook of Child Psychology and DevelopmentalScience, a four-volume reference, is the field-defining work towhich all others are compared. First published in 1946, and now inits Seventh Edition, the Handbook has long been consideredthe definitive guide to the field of developmental science.Volume 4: Ecological Settings and Processes in DevelopmentalSystems is centrally concerned with the people, conditions, andevents outside individuals that affect children and theirdevelopment. To understand children's development it is bothnecessary and desirable to embrace all of these social and physicalcontexts. Guided by the relational developmental systemsmetatheory, the chapters in the volume are ordered them in a mannerthat begins with the near proximal contexts in which children findthemselves and moving through to distal contexts that influencechildren in equally compelling, if less immediately manifest, ways.The volume emphasizes that the child's environment is complex,multi-dimensional, and structurally organized into interlinkedcontexts; children actively contribute to their development; thechild and the environment are inextricably linked, andcontributions of both child and environment are essential toexplain or understand development.Understand the role of parents, other family members, peers,and other adults (teachers, coaches, mentors) in a child'sdevelopmentDiscover the key neighborhood/community and institutionalsettings of human developmentExamine the role of activities, work, and media in child andadolescent developmentLearn about the role of medicine, law, government, war anddisaster, culture, and history in contributing to the processes ofhuman developmentThe scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the fourvolumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science isin the midst of a very exciting period. There is a paradigm shiftthat involves increasingly greater understanding of how todescribe, explain, and optimize the course of human life fordiverse individuals living within diverse contexts. ThisHandbook is the definitive reference for educators,policy-makers, researchers, students, and practitioners in humandevelopment, psychology, sociology, anthropology, andneuroscience.Product DetailsISBN-13: 9781118136805Publisher: WileyPublication date: 3/30/2015Edition number: 7Pages: 944
