About the Book

The Handbook of Research Methods in Developmental Science brings together a team of leading developmental scientists to provide a state-of-the-art overview of methods and approaches associated with the study of human development. It contains accessible contributions from some of the most renowned developmental scientists in the field. Topics discussed include: traditional and complex designs in developmental research and the strengths and challenges inherent in each; the use of experimentation and quasi-experimentation in studies of development; developmental measurement issues; conceptualizations of change and approaches to assess it; intervention approaches to promote development in high-risk samples; and cutting-edge research that is forging new and exciting directions in developmental research. This volume is a vital resource for students and scholars wishing to gain a working understanding of research approaches and issues in the developmental sciences.

Review :
"As the title suggests, this is a wide-ranging handbook for students and researchers covering five key areas: developmental research designs, issues around development measurement, data analysis, methods in developmental psychology and new directions in devlopmental research. A state of the art treatment." The Scientific and Medical Network "This book will become a classic. It fills a void in developmental science by providing a comprehensive review of developmental designs and methods in a way that is both accessible and compelling. By providing examples of differing methods used across different domains of inquiry, the Handbook does an excellent job of capturing the variation in research that is developmental science. I will use it as a reference for years to come." Sarah Mangelsdorf, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "A fascinating, essential resource for developmental scientists. This volume examines cutting-edge issues in design, measurement, analytic methods, and applications in chapters by leading researchers. As they profile state-of-the-art methods in specific research areas, the contributors offer a portrayal of developmental science as innovative, challenging, and vigorous. This is an important collection that experienced and novice investigators will find valuable." Ross Thompson, University of California, Davis
