Handbook of Child Psychology and Developmental Science, Socioemotional Processes - Handbook of Child Psychology and Developmental Science RM Lerner Volume 3 edition

Commendation Quotes:"There is a palpable sense of excitement from the editors of each volume that this is a critical period in the development of the field. The four volumes are edited by leading scholars in the field, who have carefully selected the volumes' contributing authors for their ability to summarise their topics succinctly, and tease out the issues that are likely to be the focus of research in the coming period. As with previous editions, this new edition of the "Handbook" will be a lodestar for practitioners and researchers in the field." --Diane FitzMaurice, Library Information Supervisor, Department of Psychology, University of CambridgeMarc Notes: First published in 1946, and now in its seventh edition, this handbook has long been considered the definitive guide to the field of developmental science. This volume presents up-to-date knowledge and theoretical understanding of the several facets of social, emotional and personality processes. It emphasizes that any specific processes, function, or behaviour discussed in the volume co-occurs alongside and is inextricably affected by the dozens of other processes, functions, or behaviours that are the focus of other researchers' work.

First published in 1946, and now in its Seventh Edition, the "Handbook" has long been considered the definitive guide to the field of developmental science. "Volume 3: Social, Emotional, and Personality Development" presentsup-to-date knowledge and theoretical understanding of the several facets of social, emotional and personality processes. The volume emphasizes that any specific processes, function, or behavior discussed in the volume co-occurs alongside and is inextricably affected by the dozens of other processes, functions, or behaviors that are the focus of other researchers' work. As a result, the volume underscores the importance of a focus on the whole developing child and his or her sociocultural and historical environment. Understand the multiple processes that are interrelated in personality development Discover the individual, cultural, social, and economic processes that contribute to the social, emotional, and personality development of individuals Learn about the several individual and contextual contributions to the development of such facets of the individual as morality, spirituality, or aggressive/violent behavior Study the processes that contribute to the development of gender, sexuality, motivation, and social engagement The scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the four volumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science is in the midst of a very exciting period. There is a paradigm shift that involves increasingly greater understanding of how to describe, explain, and optimize the course of human life for diverse individuals living within diverse contexts. This "Handbook" is the definitive reference for educators, policy-makers, researchers, students, and practitioners in human development, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and neuroscience.
