,Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
Chapter 1 defines the study of human development and establishes it as the
multidisciplinary study of how people change and how they remain the same over time.
Beginning in this chapter and reappearing in subsequent chapters, students will read about
three recurring issues in human development: (1) nature versus nurture; (2) continuity
versus discontinuity; and (3) universal versus context-specific development. Because of the
influence of nature and nurture on everything human, and the continuing debate regarding
the influence of genetics versus environment on development, the authors have expanded
this discussion. They also introduce readers to the biopsychosocial framework, which
focuses on the four interactive forces that influence human development across the life
span: biological forces, psychological forces, sociocultural forces, and life-cycle forces. The
second part of Chapter 1 focuses on the developmental theories used in life-span research
to help us address the “whys” for development. Although there are no truly comprehensive
theories of human development, five general perspectives influence current research:
psychodynamic theory, learning theory, cognitive theory, ecological and systems theory,
and the life-span/selective optimization with compensation/life-course perspective. The
latter part of the chapter focuses on conducting the developmental research and the
various research methods used. The chapter ends with a discussion regarding the
responsibilities of researchers in conducting ethical research and in communicating results
from research findings. The authors also highlight the importance of research results in
driving public policy.
