Understanding developmental processes in the individual as well as in aggregates of individuals is an important aim of many of the social and behavioral sciences. This book presents a theoretical framework for this endeavor - an architecture for the study of human development across different disciplines. This architecture describes two major sources of human development (biology and culture) and posits three central developmental mechanisms (selection, optimization, and compensation).Staudinger, Ursula M. is the author of 'Understanding Human Development Dialogues With Lifespan Psychology', published 2003 under ISBN 9781402073830 and ISBN 1402073836.
