This second edition of "Child Psychology: A Handbook of Contemporary Issues" reflects the increasingly sophisticated and varied research methods used to examine the highly complex interactions contributing to children's cognitive, emotional, and social development. Those chapters that appeared in the previous edition have been thoroughly updated and new chapters by outstanding researchers have been introduced. In addition, there is an entirely new section on Adolescence and thorough coverage of salient Ecological Influences, which make this second edition a truly comprehensive resource on the important issues in child psychology. The volume is divided into five sections - Infancy, Preschool Years, Childhood, Adolescence, and Ecological Influences - which: describe the nature of development and individual variations in developmental trajectories across multiple domains; identify the processes and mechanisms underlying developmental and contextual change; explore the varied contexts in which development unfolds, including family, school, neighborhood, and culture; apply cutting-edge research designs, methodologies, and analytic approaches to models of development.
