Inhaltsangabe

Numerous theoretical and empirical papers have been published to describe and explain how children's social interactions and relationships develop, how they are maintained and transformed over time and across settings, and how they determine healthy and unhealthy development. As a result, new theories have been proposed, new methodologies invented, and new understandings of children's development achieved. Childhood Social Development: The Essential Readings introduces students to this field of developmental psychology.
Each of the articles has been chosen to reflect the dynamic, changing nature of the subject and the diversity of research and thinking within the area of social development, together with its accessibility to students at all levels. Written by leading researchers such as Willard Hartup, Eleanor Maccoby, and Gary Ladd, the articles are both introduced and contextualized by the editor, and suggestions for further reading give students a starting point for exploration of the key topics in childhood social development.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This volume provides an authoritative and up-to-date overview of research and theory in childhood social development from pre-school age to the onset of adolescence. Chapters are contributed by experts in the field from Australasia, Europe and North America and cover 30 topics currently of importance in the field, in terms of research, applied research and policy.

The Handbook starts with an historical overview and follows with major sections. The first focusses on a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Following sections address influences on development, the family context, the peer group, social skills and social cognition, play, helping and moral reasoning, as well as cooperation, competition, aggression and bullying. These, in addition to the final section on children with special needs, make this volume appropriate for practitioners who deal with children as well as for college and university teachers, researchers, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Each chapter summarises existing knowledge in the field, synthesising the latest research in an accessible manner, whilst also highlighting areas of growing debate. Integration and coherence are provided by editorial commentaries prefacing each section.
