Social Development Social Life and Social Knowledge

Social Development, Social Inequalities, and Social Justice

Toward a Process Account of Development

Cecilia Wainryb, University of Utah, USA; Judith G. Smetana, University of Rochester, USA; Elliot Turiel, University of California, USA (Eds.)

Ulrich Müller, University of Victoria, Canada; Jeremy I.M. Carpendale, Simon Fraser University, Canada; Nancy Budwig, Clark University, USA; Bryan Sokol, St. Louis University, USA (Eds)

In this new volume, leading researchers provide state-of-theart perspectives on how social interaction influences the development of knowledge. The book integrates approaches from a variety of disciplines including developmental psychology, psychopathology, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, evolutionary biology, and primatology. It reviews the nature and type of interactions that promote development as well as the conceptual frameworks used to explain the relation between individuals and groups.

Social Life and Social Knowledge comprehensively addresses conceptual questions central to understanding human life and development: • Is the human form of social life reducible to biological processes?

• What psychological abilities constitute the specifically human form of social life?

• What are the processes and contexts within which these abilities develop?

• How should we conceptualize the links between social life and the development of thought, and how do individuals and society contribute to these processes?

The book is intended for philosophers, primatologists, anthropologists, biologists, sociologists, and developmental and educational psychologists interested in social development, social cognition, and developmental psychopathology. It also serves as a resource for courses in social development and those that focus on the intersection between cognition, development, and culture.

The book considers processes of social development. It examines Piaget’s ideas about morality and relates them to children’s thinking about social rights. An interdisciplinary review of research from developmental, social, and health psychology, social policy, anthropology, and philosophy, follows this introduction. Each contributor examines the historical, developmental, and social processes that influence beliefs regarding social justice and equality and the consequences of living in conditions of injustice.

The book considers: • Inequalities in educational and health care opportunities.

• Unequal rights and harassment and their effects on minorities.

• The hardships and inequalities encountered by women.

Intended for researchers and advanced students in developmental, social, cultural, and health psychology, policy, anthropology, and philosophy interested in a world that is socially just.

Jean Piaget Symposia Series 2

This volume considers previously separate bodies of research on social justice, social equality, and social development. Eminent scholars from a variety of disciplines discuss the latest research to help us understand the relation between social inequalities and social development. In so doing, the book documents the powerful ways that social inequalities frame development and explores the conflicts that arise in the context of these inequalities. It illustrates how people around the world make judgments about these conditions and how they resist or change the practices they deem unjust. By bringing together these perspectives, the editors hope to demonstrate how understanding social development carries with it the possibility of change and social justice.

Play and Development Evolutionary, Sociocultural, and Functional Perspectives Artin Göncü, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Suzanne Gaskins, Northeastern Illinois University, USA (Eds.) Children’s play is a universal human activity, and one that serves a significant purpose in personal development.

Throughout this volume, which is an extension of the 33rd Annual Meeting of the Jean Piaget Society, the editors and contributors explore assumptions about play and its status as a unique and universal activity in humans.

As a whole, Play and Development delves into three lines of research concerning this topic: examining these assumptions from an ethological perspective, exploring the view of research that shows play to be socially and culturally constructed, and looking at varied applications of play in the different contexts of childhood.

Topics covered in this volume include: • Evolutionary foundations and functions of play • Children’s play as cultural interpretation • The use of imagination in children’s play • The imaginary companions created by children and adults.

This volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of developmental psychology and cognitive development, and will be sought out by active researchers and practitioners in the field.

Adolescent Coping Advances in Theory, Research and Practice

Developmental Perspectives on mbodiment and Consciousness

Willis Overton, Temple University, Philadelphia, USA; Ulrich Müller, niversity of Victoria, Canada; Judith Newman, Pennsylvania State niversity, USA (Eds.) Until recently, the body has been largely ignored in theories and empirical research in psychology, particularly in developmental psychology. Recently however, several conceptions of the relation between body and mind have been developed. Common among these conceptions is the idea that the body plays an important role in our emotional, social, and cognitive lives.

This volume in the Jean Piaget Society ymposia Series illustrates different ways in which the concept f embodiment can be used in developmental psychology and lated disciplines. It explores the role of the body in the evelopment of meaning, consciousness, and psychological nctioning. The overall goal is to demonstrate how the concept f embodiment can deepen our understanding of evelopmental psychology by suggesting new possibilities of tegrating biological, psychological, and socio-cultural pproaches.

evelopmental Perspectives on Embodiment and Consciousness xplores embodiment in two ways. First, embodiment is xamined as a condition of and influencing the particular shape f psychological experience. This sense of embodiment reflects e effort to put the mind back into the body. Second, mbodiment is examined as a reflective experience in the sense at the mind forms particular images about the body. This nse of embodiment reflects the effort to put the body into the ind. he book opens with a discussion of embodiment from a metaeoretical perspective. Then the role of embodiment in rounding conceptual meaning is examined. This is followed by scussions of the role of embodiment in strengthening our nderstanding of emotions, cognitive development, religious xperiences, and social development. Then the role of the body spatial cognition and the role of language in the evelopment of complex forms of consciousness are explored. he final chapters examine the impact of culture on the onceptualization of the embodied self. The book concludes ith an overview of the historical context of the mind-body ualism and a discussion of how the idea of embodiment anscends this dualism. tended for researchers and advanced students in evelopmental, cognitive, and social psychology, neuroscience, hilosophy, anthropology, biology, and sociology, it also serves a reference for advanced courses on cognition and evelopment.

Erica Frydenberg University of Melbourne, Australia Adolescence and Society Series “The book is a rich resource of theory, research and practical common sense. Examination of adolescence through a focus on coping enables topics of real interest and importance to be considered, so what we have in this book is, essentially, a new and creative way to look at adolescence. This is a scholarly work of significance, and the author is to be congratulated on the depth and breadth of her research and scholarship.” - Susan Moore, Swinburne University of Technology “Dr. Frydenberg has written a comprehensive book that will enable mental health professionals to create assessment-to-interventions links for youth to learn and practice coping.” - Sandra L. Christenson, University of Minnesota “Provides an exceptionally clear and useful summary of the extensive scholarship on this topic. Its contents will be of interest to a wide range of persons interested in adolescents, including practitioners and scholars.” - Thomas Oakland, University of Florida, and President of the International Foundation for Children’s Education Young people need to cope in a variety of settings, including school, home, peer groups and the workplace, and with a range of life problems such as divorce and examinations. This thoroughly revised and updated new edition of Adolescent Coping presents the latest research and applications in the field of coping. It highlights the ways in which coping can be measured and, in particular, details a widely used adolescent coping instrument.

Topics include the different ways in which girls and boys cope, coping in the family, how culture and context determine how young people cope, decisional coping, problem solving and social coping, with a particular emphasis on practice. Each topic is considered in light of past and recent research findings and each chapter includes quotations from young people. While topics such as depression, eating disorders, self-harm and grief and loss are addressed, there is a substantial focus on the positive aspects of coping, including an emphasis on resilience and the achievement of happiness. In addition to the wideranging research findings that are reported, many of the chapters consider implications and applications of the relevant findings with suggestions for the development of coping skills and coping skills training.

Adolescent Coping will be of interest to students of psychology, social work, sociology, education and youth and community work as well as to an audience of parents and adolescents.

Social Networks in Youth and Adolescence Second Edition

John Cotterell (retired) School of Education, University of Queensland, Australia

Adolescence and Society Series “John Cotterell is the principal pioneer of an approach that I am sure is going to prove extraordinarily important for the field. Along the way, he provides a genuinely useful and wide-ranging review of adolescent social relations and their significance. I will certainly want this book on my shelves and I have no doubt but that this wish will be shared by every researcher/teacher in this area.” - Nicholas Emler, University of Surrey “The book offers a broad perspective on adolescents’ peer relations in contexts, which gives the reader a fascinating overview of the complexity and importance of network analyses and the implications for designing developmental contexts (e.g., the school). The book offers a view on adolescents’ strengths that can help to facilitate positive outcomes for as many adolescents as possible.” - Rainer K. Silbereisen, University of Jena This book discusses the crucial role of social networks in the development of adolescents and young adults between the ages of twelve and twenty-five years. It looks at how young people’s relationships shape their behaviour and identity, and the consequences of peer influence on health risk, antisocial behaviour and school motivation.

John Cotterell draws on both social and psychological research to apply network thinking to the social relationships and experiences of young people in school, work and society. Network thinking examines the pattern and nature of social ties. It analyses how the structure of networks and organizations channel information, influence and support with effects on health, motivation, and career opportunities. The book comprises ten chapters, arranged in three sections: Networks, Influences, and Support. Each chapter contains discussion on a key topic, such as youth transitions, peer structures, friendship, romantic ties, loneliness, peer rejection, smoking, drinking, delinquency, anti-social behaviour, youth risk-taking, school motivation, career influence, youth citizenship, and community organizations for young people.

This thoroughly revised new edition looks at the nature of social networks, their changing configurations, and the forces of influence they unleash. It contains a discussion of some of the practical ways in which schools can provide supports, and suggests how youth organizations and communities can assist young people to become effective citizens.

Children’s Knowledge, Beliefs and Feelings about Nations and National Groups Martyn Barrett University of Surrey, UK Essays in Developmental Psychology Series ”This is a very impressive monograph bearing every prospect of becoming a landmark in its field.

It combines an exceptionally scholarly review of the historical and current literature on children and national identity with an account of the findings of a unique and ambitious series of multi-context, international studies. The results are fascinating and are interpreted meticulously. This is a terrific book, which I thoroughly enjoyed and know that I’ll be dipping back into repeatedly.” - Kevin Durkin, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow “The field has all too little ambitious cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary research like this. One really gets a sense here of the diversity and complexity of children’s national identifications and inter-nation attitudes. It will certainly serve as the point of departure for many investigations in the future, and researchers and students will find much to their benefit in these pages.” - Rupert Brown, University of Sussex This book provides a state-of-the-art account of how people’s subjective sense of national identity, and attitudes towards countries and national groups, develop through the course of childhood and adolescence. It offers a comprehensive review of the research which has been conducted into: • Children’s understanding of nations as geographical territories and as political, historical and cultural communities • Children’s knowledge, beliefs and feelings about the people who belong to different national groups • Children’s attitudes towards, and emotional attachment to, their own country and national group.

The authors elaborate on the developmental patterns that have been found to emerge, contextualized by a consideration and evaluation of the theoretical frameworks which can be used to explain these patterns.

Written by the leading international authority in this field, and reporting (in collaboration with his colleagues) the findings from two major transnational research projects, this book will be invaluable to postgraduate students and researchers working in this field. The book will also be of great benefit to undergraduate students taking courses in developmental psychology, the sociology of childhood, and education.

Key Indicators of Child and Youth Well-Being Completing the Picture Brett V. Brown (Ed.) Child Trends, Washington, DC, USA “[This] volume is ... capable of making a significant and valuable contribution to the field of youth development, and as well, to serve as a model for scholars interested in undertaking the development of core indicators for other age cohorts.” - Francisco A. Villarruel, Michigan State University In this book, leading development researchers review the recent progress made in the measurement, collection, and use of indicators of child and youth well-being so as to develop greater measures of positive development. The book covers key indicators in the areas of health, education, social, and emotional development and social context indicators of the family, peers, school, and the community. The authors demonstrate the use of indicators for influencing public policy. The volume concludes with a summary of the indices and the methodological challenges of constructing such indices. Written in an accessible manner for policy makers, practitioners, and researchers concerned with children’s well-being, the book also serves as a supplementary text in public policy and the social sciences.

Aggression and Adaptation The Bright Side to Bad Behavior Patricia H. Hawley, Todd D. Little, University of Kansas, USA; Philip C. Rodkin, University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, USA (Eds.) “Timely, cutting edge, and a badly needed corrective to an extremely important field.” - David M. Buss, University of Texas at Austin “I would require this book for all of my doctoral students who study aggression … It is a wonderful compilation of leading peer relations and aggression experts.” - Dorothy L. Espelage, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Aggression and Adaptation raises thought-provoking questions about interpersonal functioning within social groups. The reader may find him/herself entertaining thoughts about the nature of goodness as the chapters suggest that aggressive behavior can offer significant avenues for personal growth, goal attainment, and bolstering one’s social standing. The volume brings to light alternative points of view to the prevailing orthodoxy that aggression equals pathology. Interdisciplinary in nature, the book features evolutionary, school, feminist, historical, and methodological perspectives.

Adaptation is addressed at multiple levels, the first of which is ultimate causation. Four chapters cover the aggression-adaptation link from various evolutionary perspectives. Succeeding chapters focus on: adaptation as psychological adjustment; aggression in the peer system and the contexts in which these systems occur; and the self-other dialectic in societal context, highlighting that aggressive children are often well-embedded in the social network.

Intended for researchers in developmental, evolutionary, social, personality, and educational psychology, as well as developmental psychopathologists, this book is also suitable for advanced courses on social-personality development, the psychology of violence, aggression, peer relationships, and human motivation.

Deconstructing Developmental Psychology

Second Edition Erica Burman Manchester Metropolitan University, UK “This completely revised new edition raises many new and compelling questions about the ways in which “experts” have tried to “understand” children. It presents a unique intermingling of discussions of contemporary research about young children with every day examples from children’s lives; as such the book is refreshingly readable and will appeal to a wide ranging audience.

Every aspiring scholar of childhood should be required to read this book.” - Radhika Viruru, Texas A&M University “The first edition of this book was cutting edge and visionary in its sustained, critical analysis of developmental psychological theories and assumptions. This new edition takes forward its innovatory focus by updating the concerns of the first edition and situating them in changes in the geopolitical and developmental psychology landscape over the last fifteen years. The clarity of its writing makes it invaluable and accessible to both academic audiences and interested laypeople.” - Ann Phoenix, Professor of Social and Developmental Psychology, the Open University and Co-Director of the Thomas Coram Research Unit, Institute of Education, University of London “This book brings into clear focus how history, geography, culture and politics have shaped the concerns and concepts of developmental psychology and produced powerful, often oppressive, effects for children. Engaging with Burman’s detailed and compelling arguments should be mandatory for all students and researchers of children’s lives. A book to provoke, debate and inspire other ways to know and be with children.” - Glenda MacNaughton, Director of the Centre for Equity and Innovation in Early Childhood, Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne What is childhood and why, and how, did psychology come to be the arbiter of ‘correct’ or ‘normal’ development? How do actual lived childhoods connect with theories about child development?

In this completely revised and updated edition, Deconstructing Developmental Psychology interrogates the assumptions and practices surrounding the psychology of child development, providing a critical evaluation of the role and contribution of developmental psychology within social practice.

In the decade since the first edition was published, there have been many major changes. The role accorded childcare experts and the power of the ‘psy complex’ have, if anything, intensified. This book addresses how shifts in advanced capitalism have produced new understandings of children, and a new (and more punitive) range of institutional responses to children. It engages with the paradoxes of childhood in an era when young adults are increasingly economically dependent on their families, and in a political context of heightened insecurity. The new edition includes an updated review of developments in psychological theory (in attachment, evolutionary psychology, theory of mind, cultural-historical approaches), as well as updating and reflecting upon the changed focus on fathers and fathering. It offers new perspectives on the connections between Piaget and Vygotsky and now connects much more closely with discussions from the sociology of childhood and critical educational research. Coverage has been expanded to include more material on child rights debates, and a new chapter addresses practice dilemmas around child protection, which engages even more with the “raced” and gendered effects of current policies involving children.

This engaging and accessible text provides key resources to inform better professional practice in social work, education and health contexts. It offers critical insights into the politics and procedures that have shaped developmental psychological knowledge. It will be essential reading for anyone working with children, or concerned with policies around children and families. It was also be of interest to students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels across a range of professional and practitioner groups, as well as parents and policy makers.

Developments Child, Image, Nation Erica Burman Manchester Metropolitan University, UK “Developments expands on the critical work of scholars in education, sociology, psychology, and other emergent fields of critical social science to address the relationship between discourses of developmental psychology and economic development. Those of us who are concerned with critique, power, and justice will consider it a major contribution.” - Gaile S. Cannella, Tulane University “This book traverses terrain usually thought of as distinct and challenges us to think in complex ways about complex issues. It’s a provocative read for anyone engaged in debates (and entangled in action!) to do with developments of childhood, (inter)national dynamics and representations of these realities.” - Jill Bradbury, University of KwaZulu Natal “This book exhibits the strengths that I have come to admire in Burman: originality and creative imagination; an impressive erudition; boldness in crossing disciplinary boundaries; and a distinctive verve in exposing oppressive structures. This is a seminal, highly original book that is bound to inspire the growing number of students and young academics interested in global childhood research.” - Olga Nieuwenhuys, University of Amsterdam How does developmental psychology connect with the developing world? What do cultural representations tell us about the contemporary politics of childhood? What is the political economy of childhood?

This companion volume to Burman’s Deconstructing Developmental Psychology helps us to explain why questions around children and childhood – their safety, their sexuality, their interests and abilities, their violence – have so preoccupied the late Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries. In this increasingly post-industrial, postcolonial and multicultural world, this book identifies analytical and practical strategies for improving how we think about and work with children. Drawing in particular on feminist and postdevelopment literatures, the book illustrates how and why reconceptualising our notions of individual and human development, including those informing models of children’s rights and interests, will foster more just and equitable forms of professional practice with children and their families.

The book brings together completely new, previously unpublished material alongside revised and updated papers to present a cutting-edge and integrated perspective to the field. Burman offers a key contribution to a set of urgent debates engaging theory and method, policy and practice across all the disciplines that work with, or lay claim to, children’s interests.

Developments presents a coherent and persuasive set of arguments about childhood, culture and professional practice so that the sustained focus across a range of disciplinary arenas (psychology, education, cultural studies, child rights, gender studies, development policy and practice, social policy) strengthens the overall argument of each chapter. It will be invaluable to teachers and students in psychology, childhood studies and education as well as researchers in gender studies. It will also be a must-read for professionals working with children and adolescents.

Vygotsky at Work and Play

New !

Lois Holzman East Side Institute for Group and Short Term Psychotherapy, New York, USA Vygotsky at Work and Play surveys and examines the influence of Lev Vygotsky on contemporary psychology and highlights the many ways Vygotsky’s cultural theory of human development has led to a rethinking of psychology’s fundamental conceptions.

Vygtosky has traditionally been presented as a significant historical figure and as a contributor to curriculum and teaching reforms. This book brings readers up to date, showing how Vygtosky’s influence continues among learning theorists and educators and how he has also come to feature prominently in other psychological studies, such as cognitive science, organization and management, psychotherapy and counselling and youth development. He is presented as a key figure in the creation of a new more socially and culturally rooted psychology, a humanistic and hopeful voice for radical transformation in how we educate, help and heal, and a living force in the lives of tens of thousands of ordinary people from around the world.

Vygtosky at Work and Play will be essential reading for a wide audience of teachers, students and practitioners interested in the development of new psychological frameworks.

Theory and Applications, Second Edition Çigdem Kagitçibasi Koç University, Turkey “This is a ‘must read’ book for crosscultural developmental psychologists and those interested in the way data from the majority world can inform mainstream psychology.” - Harry C. Triandis, in Contemporary Psychology Reflecting author Çigdem Kagitçibasi’s influential work over the last two decades, this new edition examines human development, the self, and the family in a cultural context. It challenges the existing assumptions in mainstream western psychology about the nature of individuals.

The author proposes a new model – the “Autonomous-Related Self” – which expands on existing theory by demonstrating how culture influences self development. The development of competence is examined from a contextual perspective, with a view towards global urbanization which is creating increasingly similar lifestyles around the world. The implications of this perspective are discussed extensively, particularly early intervention policy implications related to promoting human competence in immigration and acculturation. Rich in both theory and application, each topic is introduced with a historical antecedent and earlier research before current work is discussed.

This new edition also features: • A new theoretical perspective that integrates cultural variation with universal human development trajectories in the context of social change, globalization, and immigration

Self-Esteem: Issues and Answers A Sourcebook of Current Perspectives Michael H. Kernis (Ed.) University of Georgia, USA “This book is a carefully planned survey of the field of self-esteem, organized in terms of key questions posed to the field’s most active and influential researchers. The essays they offer in response to the questions are focused, informative, and exact, providing a reference work that captures both the tradition of self esteem psychology and its cutting-edge issues such as unconscious self evaluation and the role of self-esteem in psychopathology.” Daniel M. Wegner, Harvard University “This stimulating, provocative, and compelling volume delivers just what the field of self -esteem needs most.

It summarizes the status of current knowledge on the topic in an engaging and readable format – shedding light on what is known about the functioning of selfesteem, while simulataneously giving the reader a sense of the complexities involved in the concept. It does so without favouritism, not forcing pat answers, but allowing the readers to make up their own minds.

This volume is a must-read for scholars and students interested in understanding the role of self-esteem in psychological and interpersonal functioning.” - Carolyn C. Morf, University of Bern Research and theory on self-esteem have flourished in recent years. This resurgence has produced multiple perspectives on fundamental issues surrounding the nature of self-esteem and its role in psychological functioning and interpersonal processes.

Self-Esteem: Issues and Answers brings together these various perspectives in a unique format. The book is divided into five sections. Section 1 focuses on core issues pertaining to the conceptualization and assessment of self-esteem, and when self-esteem is optimal. Section 2 concentrates on the determinants, development, and modifiability of self-esteem. Section 3 examines the evolutionary significance of self-esteem and its role in psychological processes and therapeutic settings. Section 4 explores the social, relational, and cultural significance of self-esteem. Finally, Section 5 considers future directions for self-esteem researchers, practitioners, parents and teachers.

This volume offers a wealth of perspectives from prominent researchers from different areas of psychology. Each expert contributor was asked to focus his or her chapter on a central self-esteem issue.

Three or four experts addressed each question. The result is that Self-Esteem: Issues and Answers provides a comprehensive sourcebook of current perspectives on a wide range of central self-esteem issues.

Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers.” - Choice

“Provides a bridge over the cognitive/affective divide that has limited progress in our understanding of how to foster moral development.” PsycCRITIQUES This Handbook represents the diversity and multidisciplinary influences on current theorizing about the psychological study of moral development and the range and broad scope of topics being considered by scholars in the field.

The book is divided into six parts: structuralism and moral development stages; social domain theory and social justice; conscience and internalization; social interactional, sociocultural and comparative approaches; empathy, emotions and aggression; moral education, character development and community service.

How do children develop an understanding of people as psychological entities – as feeling, thinking beings?

How do they come to understand human behavior as driven by desires and informed by reason? These questions are at the heart of contemporary research on children’s “theories of mind.” Although there has been an enormous amount of research on this topic, nobody – until now – has provided a coherent account that traces the development of theory of mind from birth to five years.

This book begins by analyzing the nature of commonsense psychology and exploring the developmental processes relevant to its development.

It then describes the manner in which the child moves from being a newborn with perceptual sensitivities to people, to an infant who can share psychological experiences with others, to a young child who can recognize people, including both self and others, as individual psychological beings. Finally, the book shows how, throughout this developmental process, the child’s social interactive experiences are used by the child to generate ever more sophisticated forms of commonsense psychology.

The Development of Commonsense Psychology incorporates material from a wide range of research on early development, including infant social interaction, joint attention, self development, language development, theory of mind, and autobiographical memory.

Suitable as a text for senior undergraduate/honors courses or graduate level courses in early development, the primary audience for this book is developmental psychologists. However, it is also written in a way that will make it accessible and appealing to anyone with an interest in social cognitive development in early childhood, including parents, educators, and policymakers.

Handbook of Personality Development

Children and Separation

Daniel K. Mroczek, Purdue University, USA Todd D. Little, University of Kansas, USA (Eds.)

Socio-Genealogical Connectedness Perspective

“There is much to learn in paging through the Handbook, and Mroczek and Little have provided an important service in bringing such a talented group of authors together.” PsycCRITIQUES

Kwame Owusu-Bempah University of Leicester, UK “This is a really excellent work which should raise a number of controversial issues and challenge a few ‘comfort zones’.” Sandy Fraser, The Open University

“There is rising interest in the topic, and ... there is no single volume that addresses it as fully.” - Robert R. McCrae, National Institute on Aging

“The work provides a new synthesis of research into child development spanning many decades. There is a compelling involvement of the author in the material and a wealth of ideas of practical significance not only to psychologists but also those working in the child care fields.” - Dennis Howitt, Loughborough University

“I was particularly impressed by the breadth of coverage.” Eddie Harmon-Jones, University of Wisconsin-Madison This comprehensive Handbook addresses five types of advances: 1) new theoretical perspectives, 2) higher-quality empirical studies, 3) more sophisticated research designs and analyses, 4) attention to development across the lifespan, and 5) the growing prominence of interdisciplinary approaches to personality development. It addresses the major personality development theoretical frameworks – the evolutionary, physiological, behavioral genetic, and sociocultural perspectives. The book also reviews new statistical techniques that allow for the estimation of individual differences in stability and the analysis of change.

The latter part of the book focuses on personality development over the lifespan, from infancy to older adulthood. The authors address personality variables such as emotion regulation, temperament, and self-concept across the lifespan. The book concludes with a compelling capstone chapter by Dan McAdams on how personality develops.

Intended for researchers and advanced students in personality, developmental, social, clinical, and educational psychology, as well as related fields such as family studies, sociology, education, nursing, behavioral genetics, neuropsychology, and psychophysiology, the Handbook also serves as a valuable resource in advanced courses that address personality development.

“This book offers an innovative perspective on the needs of children for positive knowledge of their family origins. Professionals working with children in relation to divorce, reconstituted families and assisted conception, and writers and researchers in these areas should find it essential reading.” - Peter Stratton, University of Leeds Childhood separation and loss have become virtually a way of life for a large number of children throughout the world. Children separated from their genetic parent(s) and consequently their genealogical, social and cultural roots due to processes such as adoption, parental divorce/separation, donor insemination, single parenthood by choice and child trafficking can face social, emotional and psychological difficulties.

This book explores the premise that a proper understanding of the complex inner world of modern day separated children and their psycho-social development requires a shift in focus or emphasis. It presents the notion of socio-genealogical connectedness as a new theoretical framework for studying and promoting these children’s growth and development. This new theory simultaneously challenges and complements existing notions of psycho-social development, including attachment theory and Erikson’s psycho-social theory of personality development.

Owusu-Bempah proposes that this sense of socio-genealogical connectedness is an essential factor in children’s adjustment to separation and their emotional and mental health; much like those adopted, separated children suffer a loss of genealogical continuity, and hence, loss of ‘self’. This hypothesis is discussed and ultimately supported through both the author’s own research and a broad selection of theoretical and empirical material from other areas.

The book further considers the implications of this notion of socio-genealogical connectedness for childcare policy and practice, as well as directions for future research in this and related fields. Children and Separation is an invaluable resource for academics, students and childcare professionals. The accessible style of the book ensures that it will also be useful to parents and anybody affected by childhood separation.

Child Sexual Abuse

Immigrant Youth in European Countries

Disclosure, Delay, and Denial

Dagmar Strohmeier, University of Vienna, Austria Eva Schmitt-Rodermund, University of Jena, Germany (Eds.)

Margaret-Ellen Pipe, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA; Michael E. Lamb, Cambridge University, UK; Yael Orbach, National institute of Child Health and Human Development, Bethesda, USA; Ann-Christin Cederborg, Linkoping University, Sweden (Eds.) “The editors are world-renowned for their research and writings on child forensic interviews. They have assembled a group of international experts on disclosure ... Readers will learn about the latest research advances as well as how to tackle relevant legal, policy, and professional dilemmas. Anyone who cares about child protection ... will find this volume invaluable ... This book helps us learn how and when to listen to children.” - Gail S. Goodman, University of California, Davis, and Tina Goodman Brown, Private Practice, from the book’s Foreword This volume provides the first rigorous assessment of the research relating to the disclosure of childhood sexual abuse, along with the practical and policy implications of the findings. Leading researchers and practitioners from diverse and international backgrounds offer critical commentary on these previously unpublished findings gathered from both field and laboratory research. Crosscultural, clinical, and multi-disciplinary perspectives are provided. The goal is to learn more about why children frequently remain silent about their abuse, deny it, or if they do disclose, do so belatedly and incompletely, often recanting their allegations over time.

The book opens with a close examination of the existing literature on disclosure and the difficulties in conducting such research. It then examines the individual and contextual factors that determine whether, when, and how childhood sexual abuse is disclosed. This portion reviews how the interview techniques have a profound impact on disclosure patterns. Details of how reluctant children are interviewed are included. The third section examines the broader implications of disclosure for the child, family and peers, and for the suspect. Child Sexual Abuse examines how the interview strategies influence how, when, or if children disclose abuse, by examining both domestic and international data and by analyzing detailed interviews with children.

Child Sexual Abuse is for researchers and practitioners from child, forensic, and clinical psychology, social work, and all legal professionals who need to understand this crime.

The Transition to Adulthood and Family Relations An Intergenerational Perspective Scabini et al.

Today, many children and adolescents living in Europe have an immigrant background. For the first time, studies investigating youth belonging to several immigrant groups were collected to form a special issue on their situation. The six papers presented here offer a comprehensive introduction of important constructs, debates, methodological considerations and empirical results in the field of the psychology of immigration. The papers were put together by research groups stemming from six different European countries.

This special issue offers rich information on the processes behind health, well-being, and success in various developmental tasks as well as on precursors for maladaptive outcomes that can be observed in immigrant adolescents.

Emotional Development The Development of Emotional Intelligence

New !

A Case Study Nadja Reissland, University of Aberdeen, UK David Cohen, writer, psychologist and film maker, UK Concepts in Developmental Psychology Series How do children learn about the expression and meaning of emotions – both happy and sad?

This book will answer questions on the foundation of emotional intelligence and examine how children become emotionally literate as they are socialised into their family environment from birth to two years of age. These early stages are vitally important in teaching children to understand themselves and others, as well as how to relate to people, and how to adapt to and cope with their immediate surroundings.

In order to examine the development of emotional intelligence the authors present a case study of the first use and development of “emotion words” from both the baby’s and the parent’s point of view. The data, based on daily tape-recorded “conversations” between a baby daughter and her father, demonstrates how over a two-year period a child learns to express and understand emotions in social interaction. This capacity to reason with emotion will be examined through four areas: perceiving emotion, integrating emotion, understanding emotion and managing emotion.

The Development of Emotional Intelligence adds a new perspective to the theoretical debate on emotions and how they develop. It will be of great interest to psychologists and any professionals dealing with families. It will also be helpful reading for parents.

The Laws of Emotion

Psychology of Emotion

Textb ook!

Nico H. Frijda Universiteit van Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Interpersonal, Experiential, and Cognitive

“I really like the book. It is, in my opinion, one of the landmark books to be published in the first decade of the new millennium. …

[Frijda] is one of the founding fathers of contemporary emotions research… and is… well versed in philosophy, history, and literature, and this is evident throughout this book. I can think of no book in contemporary psychology that is as rich in its scope and imagination.” - Robert C. Solomon, University of Texas at Austin

Paula M. Niedenthal, Université Blaise Pascal, France; Silvia Krauth-Gruber, François Ric, both University Paris 5 - René Descartes, France Principles of Social Psychology Series

The Laws of Emotion is an accessible work that reviews much of the insightful new research on emotions conducted over the last ten years. It expands on the theory of emotions introduced in Nico Frijda’s earlier work and addresses a number of unanswered, basic problems on emotion theory. The author’s goal is to better understand the underlying psychological mechanisms of emotion. In this book, Professor Frijda also examines previously neglected topics of emotion such as determinants of emotional intensity, the duration of emotions, and sexual emotions. It touches on both evolutionary and neuroscientific explanations.

The book begins by reviewing a number of principles governing emotion, or “the laws of emotion”. The author then examines the passionate nature of emotions and the motivational processes underlying them, and the nature and causes of pleasure and pain. Professor Frijda then explores the processes that lead to emotional arousal, including cognitive influences and why people care more about certain things than others. Emotional intensity is then discussed, including the often-neglected topic of the course of emotions over time. The book concludes with the author’s insights into complex emotional domains such as sex, revenge, and the need to commemorate past events.

The Laws of Emotion will appeal to social, cognitive, and developmental psychologists, social scientists, philosophers, and neuroscientists, as well as anyone interested in the workings of the mind. It also serves as a text for advanced courses in the psychology of emotions or the neuroscience of emotions.

Approaches

“Niedenthal and her colleagues have produced an easy-to-read, well-written text that maps much of the scientific terrain of emotion research in a comprehensive and accessible manner. They provide an admirable degree of integration with a multitude of theoretical perspectives, and offer a balanced summary of even the most hotly debated questions, making this book an essential guide for anyone who wants to be educated in the science of emotion.” - Lisa Feldman Barrett, Boston College This textbook discusses fundamental issues in the definition and measurement of emotion, including: conscious and unconscious processes; the ways in which emotions arise in, and are constrained by, social situations and social processes; the regulation and sharing of emotion and their effects on mental health; and the manner in which culture (including subculture) shapes or moderates some of these processes.

The book also focuses on the component processes of emotion, their functions, and the ways in which these interact with the social environment. Rather than deny either that emotions are biologically determined or that they are culturally created or shaped, both biology and social situation are treated as important forces in the elicitation and the experience of emotion.

Each section of the book is structured around specific approaches or models, and the precise questions that they were constructed to address. The theories and models are also placed in their historical context.

Discussion of the different approaches is elaborated by summaries of the extant scientific evidence, as well as examples of specific experiments or studies that were designed to evaluate the question. Timely, engaging realworld examples are used from a variety of international contexts.

The pedagogic features, including concise introductions and summaries, discussion questions, and suggested readings, have been incorporated into the volume, making this an ideal text for a course of Emotion, which can be found as an option within many social psychology and cognitive psychology courses.

SELECTED CONTENTS 1. What are Emotions and How are They Studied? 2.

From Order to Disorder

Cognition & Emotion

Second Edition Mick Power, University of Edinburgh, UK Tim Dalgleish, Medical Research Council Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, UK

EDITORS Jan De Houwer, Ghent University, Belgium Dirk Hermans, University of Leuven, Belgium

“Once again, with their unique style, Power and Dalgleish have produced a most readable, comprehensive, and scholarly book on cognition and emotion. The integration of theory and evidence is done extremely well, and enhanced with reference to the authors’ own integrative model of emotion (SPAARS). The authors’ refreshing approach to the understanding of emotions puts this book in the top league of current competitors.” - Nazanin Derakhshan, Birkbeck, University of London

Cognition & Emotion is devoted to the study of emotion, especially to those aspects of emotion related to cognitive processes. The journal brings together work on emotion undertaken by researchers in cognitive, social, clinical, and developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and cognitive science.

The relationship between thinking and feeling has puzzled philosophers for centuries, but more recently has become a dominant focus in psychology and in the brain sciences. This second edition of the highly praised Cognition and Emotion examines everything from past philosophical to current psychological perspectives in order to offer a novel understanding of both normal emotional experience and the emotional disorders.

These are sent free to journal subscribers and are available to nonsubscribers to purchase indivdually.

The authors integrate work on normal emotions with work on the emotional disorders. Although there are many influential theories of normal emotions within the cognition and emotion literature, these theories rarely address the issue of disordered emotions. Similarly, there are numerous theories that seek to explain one or more emotional disorders (e.g., depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and phobias), but which rarely discuss normal emotions.

The present book draws these separate strands together and introduces a theoretical framework that can be applied to both normal and disordered emotions. It also provides a core cognition and emotion textbook through the inclusion of a comprehensive review of the basic literature. The book includes chapters on the historical background and philosophy of emotion, reviews the main theories of normal emotions and of emotional disorders, and includes separate chapters organised around the five basic emotions of fear, sadness, anger, disgust, and happiness.

Cognition and Emotion: From Order to Disorder provides both an advanced textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in addition to a novel approach with a range of implications for clinical practice for work with the emotional disorders.

CONTENTS Introduction. 1. The Cognitive Philosophy of Emotion. 2.

Cognitive Theories of Emotion. 3. Cognitive Theories of Emotional Disorder. 4. Towards an Integrated Cognitive Theory of Emotion: The SPAARS Approach. 5. Fear. 6. Sadness. 7.

MAJOR WORK

William M. Bukowski, Concordia University, Canada; Brett Laursen, Florida Atlantic University, USA; Kenneth H. Rubin, University of Maryland, USA (Eds.)

Series: Critical Concepts in Psychology This new four-volume collection brings together the most influential and fundamental research in the area, providing readers with a vital overview of the basic theory and the empirical database regarding social and emotional development. The collection editors present a general developmental picture of the state of the art in each area of social and emotional development. They have also written integrative commentaries (appearing as an introduction at the start of each volume) to situate the collected research topics in their historical and intellectual context, and to provide a snapshot of current issues in the field.

The collection is an ideal introduction to social and emotional development for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, and will serve as an important reference for instructors. Indeed, teachers who are planning courses intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students will find these volumes to be an ideal way of providing a comprehensive and in-depth coverage of research on social and emotional development. The chronological organization of three of the four volumes will allow instructors to use all three or to choose the book that best fits the needs of their course. The fourth volume of models and methods can be used in a similarly flexible or focused manner.

This new Major Work constitutes a ‘mini library’ on the history of, and current debates in, social and emotional development.

The Journal of the International Society of Self and Identity (ISSI) EDITOR ELECT Mark Alicke, Ohio University, USA Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals’ striving for well-being and for making sense of one’s life.

Life goals develop and are influenced by one’s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one’s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one’s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has farreaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.

Self and Identity is devoted to the study of these social and psychological processes of the self, including both its agentic aspects, as well as the perceived and construed aspects as reflected in its mental representations.
