Описание: Now updated for its second edition, this illuminating textbook explores the developmental stages during adulthood which define some of the most pivotal and formative years of our entire lives. Discussing the experiences which shape these years – love, parenthood, life crises, fulfilment, funerals, friendships, retirement, birth and death – the book considers their psychological consequences and asks how they can be reliably described, explained and understood in psychological research. Taking a thematic approach, Oliver Robinson expertly guides the reader through the interdependent areas of our cognitive, psychological, social, cultural and moral lives that constitute this fascinating area in psychology. This book delivers an interdisciplinary understanding of the changes that occur across the human life span as well as the psychological research tools needed to measure them. Providing an empirical analysis, it considers models for understanding behaviour and development, methods of collecting data and study design. Academically rigorous and elegantly written, Development through Adulthood is the perfect guide to classic and current research in the field. It is essential reading for students studying adult or lifespan development, gerontology and the psychology of ageing. It will also appeal to those studying an applied social science, and anyone interested in fully understanding adulthood and ageing.

Описание: This popular textbook is an authoritative chronological exploration of how the lives of children are shaped by biological and cultural factors. The books offers a lively, engaging, and always accessible examination of child development as a process involving the whole child within multiple, mutually influencing contexts.  Throughout, the emphasis is on how the interaction of biology and culture contributes both to the universal pathways of development shared by all children and to the diverse developmental patterns that unfold in the lives of individual children. This is an accessible introduction to Developmental Psychology for students taking courses that focus on child and adolescent development. This book can also be purchased with the breakthrough online resource, LaunchPad, which offers innovative media content, curated and organised for easy assignability.
