Child and Adolescent Development in Context

Beschreibung

Like children themselves, development is dynamic. In the chronologically organized Child and Adolescent Development in Context, award-winning author Tara L. Kuther frames development research in real-life contexts to understand how internal factors interact with a wide variety of social, environmental, and cultural influences. Dr. Kuther presents highly relatable examples and vivid cross-cultural stories. The book emphasizes three core themes: the centrality of context, the importance of research, and the applied value of developmental science. Students will come away with an understanding of these themes that they will immediately be able to apply to their own lives and future careers.
