This book is about the development of human beings - from their days as fertilised eggs to their dying days. It
highlights regularities as well as differences in development, and it asks fundamental questions about why we
humans develop as we do.
This second Australian and New Zealand edition of Life Span Human Development incorporates many
exciting changes to ensure the book is relevant to students studying in the Australian and New Zealand contex~.
yet it retains four core features of the original text that ha,., been valued by students and instructors over the
years: (1) the unique integrated topical-dlronological approach, (2) a presentation that is both research·
based and applied, (3) an emphasis on the different theoretical perspectives that guide thinking about human
development and research; and (4) an in-depth exploration throughout of nature and nurture contributions to
developn1ent as ,vell as the universality and diversity surrounding hun1an developn1ent .

TOPICAL AND CHRONOLOGICAL APPROACH


The most distinctive feature of this book is its unique integrated topical-dlronological approach. lvlost other
life span development textbooks adopt a chronological or ·~age· approach, carving the life span into age
ranges and describing the prominent characteristics of individuals within ead1 age range. In contrast, we adopt
a topical approad1 for the overall organisation of the book and after three introductory chapters we blend a
topical approach with a chronological approach within chapters. Each blended chapter focuses on a domain
of development, such as physical growth, cognition or personality, and incorporates major sections on infancy,
childhood, adolescence and adulthood to trace the developmental trends and influences in that domain from
infancy to old age.

Why topical?
Like many other instructors, we have typically favoured topically organised tex~books when teaching child·,
adolescent· or adult.cJevelopn1ent courses. As a result, it seen1ed natural to use that sru11e topical approach
in introducing students to the whole life span. Besides, chronologically organised texts often have to repeat
themselves as they remind readers of where development left off in an earlier age period that was covered in a
previous cl1apter.
1vlore in1ponant, a topic-by· topic organisation conveys the Ro\\, of developn1ent in each area - the
systematic, and often dramatic, transfon11.ations that take place as ,veil as the developn1ental continuities. The
topical approach also helps us emphasise the processes behind development.
Finally, a predominantly topical approach is more compatible with a life span perspecti,,e, whid1 views each
period oflife in relation to what comes before and what is yet to come. In chronologically organised tex~books,
many topics are described only in connection ,vith the age group to ,vhich they seen1 n1ost relevant- for exan1ple,
anachn1ent in relation to infancy, or sexuality in relation to adolescence and adulthood. A topical organisation
stin1ulates us to ask intriguing questions \\le n1ight othenvise not ask, such as these about attachn1ent relationships:
What do infants' anacl1n1ents to their parents have in comn1on ,vith, and ho,v do they differ from,
attachments between childhood friends or between adult romantic partners?
Do securely attached infants later have a greater capacity to form and sUstain friendships or romantic
partnerships tl,an infants whose early social experiences are less favourable?
Wl1at are the consequences at different points in the life span oflacking a close relationship?
Attachments are important tl,roughout the life span, and a topical organisation helps make tl1at clear.

PREFACE xvii

Why chronological?
We also appreciate the strengths of the chronological approach, particularly its ability to portray the whole
person in each period of the life span. For this reason, we integrated the a~tage approach with the topical
organisation, aiming to ha,,e the best of both worlds.
Each topical chapter contains major sections on infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The
existence of these sections is proof that the chapters consider development in each of the domains covered
across the whole life span. These age-<atage sections call attention to the distinctive qualities of each phase of
life and make it easier for students to find material on an age period of particular interest to them. In short, we
believe that our integrated topical-dlronological approach allows us to convey the flow oflife span development
in particular areas and the factors influencing it while highlighting the major physical, cognitive and psychosocial
developments within any particular developmental period.

Adaptability of the integrated topical-chronological approach


Even though links among chapters are noted throughout the book, instructors who are teaching short courses or
who are otherwise pressed for time can omit a chapter without fear ofrendering other chapters incomprehensible.
For example:
A cognitively oriented course might omit one or more of the socially-oriented chapters (Chapters 9--13).
A socially oriented course might omit one or more of the cognitively-oriented chapters (Chapters 5-8).
Moreover, the topicah:hronological approach of the text gives instructors the flexibility to cover infancy,
childhood and adolescence in a course, if they prefer, and to save the material on adulthood for another course.

RESEARCH-ORIENTED AND RELEVANT COVERAGE


We have worked hard to create a text that is rigorous yet readable - research-oriented yet 'real' to students.
Life Span Human Development tackles complex theoretical controversies and presents the best of both classic
and contemporary research fron1 multiple disciplines in a \vay that is acc~ible and relevant to students' life
experiences and career developn1ent.
We believe that it is critical for students to understand ho\\' \Ve ki10,v ,vhat ,ve ki.10,v about developn1ent -
to appreciate the research process. With that in mind, ,ve describe illustrative studies and present their data in
graphs and tables, and we cite the authors and dates of publication for a large number of books and articles, all
fully referenced in the reference section at the end of the book. Some students may wonder why they are there.
It is because \\le are comn1itted to the value of systen1atic research, because \Ve are bound to give credit ,vhere
credit is due and because \Ve ,vant students and their instructors to have the resources they need to pursue their
interests in hun1ru1 developn1ent during and after the course.
We also appreciate that solid scholarship is of little good to students unless they want to read it, can
understand it ru1d see its relevance. We n1aintain that even the n1ost complex issues in hun1an development
can be made understandable through clear and organised writing. To make the material more 'real' , we clarify
developmental concepts through examples and analogies, connect topics in the te~'t to topics in the news
and highlight the practical implications of research findings. We also incorporate applied material relevant to
students' current and future roles as parents, teachers, psychologists, educators, social workers, occupational
therapists and other allied health and human service professionals. And""' help students see that major theories
of human de,,elopment do not jusr guide researchers but can help anyone analyse issues that ""' all face -
including such practical matters as raising and educating children, working with troubled adolescents or coping
with Alzheimer's disease or death in the family.

THEORETICAL GROUNDING
Theories are critical in any science, telling scientists ,vhat to study, ho\\' to study it and ho,v to interpret their
findings. \Ve want students to leave the srudy of life span human development with more than facts alone; we
,vant then1 to appreciate the major i$ues of interest to developn1ental scientists and ho,v the leading theories
in the field have shaped our thinking about development. Most important, we want students to learn to use
these theoretical perspecti,,,,. to guide their thinking and action when they encounter a question about human
developn1ent outside the course.
With this in mind, we have devoted Chapter 2 to laying out in broad strokes the psychoanalytic, lea.ming,
hun1anistic, cognitive ru1d systen1s perspectives on hun1an development, sho\\ring \\rhat they say, ,vhere they
xviii PREFACE

stand on key developmental issues and how they would explain developmental phenomena such as school
refusal and teenage pregnancy. We delve deeper into these and other perspectives and show how they have
been applied to the study of SpECific aspects of development in later chapters; see, for example, a treaunent
of the dj11amic systems view of motor development in Chapter 4; a comparison of Jean Piaget's cognitive
developmental and Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural perspectives in Cl1apter 5; an application of the infom1ation·
processing perspective in Chapter 6; alten1ative vie,vs of intelligence in Chapter 7; nativist, learning and
interactionist theories of language de,,elopment in Chapter 8; alternative theories of personality development
and gender role in Cl1apter 9; theories of moral development in Chapter 10; attachment theory in Chapter 11;
models and theories relating to various disorders in Chapter 12; and perspectives on dying and berea,,ement in
Chapter 13.

NATURE-NURTURE AND UNIVERSALITY-DIVERSITY THEMES


Finally, we want students to gain a deeper understanding of inffuence of nature and nurture and of the many
interacting forces affecting the developing person that contribute to both similarities (universalities) and
differences (diversity) in hun1an developn1ent. We ,vant srudents to appreciate that human developn1ent is an
incredibly complex process that grows out of transactions between a changing peison and a changing world
and out of dynamic relationships among biological, psychological and social inffuences. No contributor to
developn1ent - a gene, a ten1peran1ent, a parent, a culture - acts alone and is unaffected by other influences on
development.
\Ve introduce nature and nurture and the universality and diversity of development in Cl1apter I and give it
ex'tended treatn1ent in Cl1apter 2 ,vhere ,ve explore the developn1ental issues that underpin theories and also in
Chapter 3 where we focus on genes and environment. Each subsequent chapter includes many examples of the
intemvined contributions of nature and nurture to developn1ent and the ,vays in ,vhich hun1an developn1ent is
both similar from person to person and culture to culture, but also diverse from person to person and culture
to culture. Along the way, we describe some exciting studies that compare individuals with and ,vithout
particular genes and with and ,vithout particular life experiences to bring home what it means to say that genes
and environn1ent interact to influence developn1e:nt - as ,vhen genes predisposing an indi,~dual to depression
combine with stressful life events to produce depression. \Ve also illustrate the many ways in which genes and
environn1ent are intemvined and affect one another - for instance, ,vays in ,vhich genetic n1akeup influences
the experiences an individual has, and ,vays in ,vhich experience influences ,vhich of an individual's genes are
activated or expressed. In this book we provide coverage not only ofgenes, honnones, brain functions and other
biological forces in development but also of ways in which ethnicity, social class, community and the larger
cultural context n1odify developn1ent. Most in1portant, \\le illun1inate the con1plex interrelationships bet\,..-een
biological and environmental inffuences that are at the hean of the developmental process.

or in any way confined; but, after it was determined that he should die,
several men attacked him with spears and stones. He fought desperately to
the last, although his situation was altogether hopeless, freely bestowing
upon his enemies the epithets of cowards and murderers. Even when he
could no longer resist, his spirit was unconquered,—and he breathed his
last, with expressions of scorn and hatred on his lips.

notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that

License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and
discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project
Gutenberg™ works.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph
1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner
of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party
distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this
agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and
expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO

WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,
you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity
that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in
paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied


warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the
Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the
Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any

indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur:
(a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b)
alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project
Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
