May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.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.Supplements The following product-level supplements provide additional information that may help you in preparing your course. They are available in the Instructor Resource Center.• Educator Guide (describes MindTap activities) • PowerPoints (provides text-based lectures and presentations) • Test Bank (contains assessment questions and problems) • Guide to Teaching Online (provides information on how to teach virtually) Chapter Objectives
