Developmental Social Psychology by Kevin Durkin

Developmental Social Psychology by Kevin Durkin

Developmental psychology and social psychology have traditionally been regarded as two virtually independent disciplines, with specialists in one only occasionally considering their work in relation to the concerns of the other. In spite of the interest in both disciplines in new areas of research such as social cognition, there have been few attempts to summarize this growing field for undergraduates. This new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to developmental social psychology, drawing on the achievements of both parent disciplines. Taking a primarily topic-based approach, it emphasises the social contexts of development and the developmental aspects of social interaction. Topics covered range from the early integration of the child in the social world, through the individual's progressively complex interactions with other people and institutions, to social adjustments in the latter stages of the lifespan. Throughout, an international approach is adopted, drawing on sources from North American, European and Australasian literatures, and featuring a wide range of cross cultural examples.

Kevin Durkin is professor of psychology at the university of western Australia. His research and teaching interests include child language development, children and the media, gender roles, and adolescent problem behaviour.
