Presents cutting-edge research methods in developmental science

The Handbook of Research Methods in Developmental Science delivers a fully revised and expanded exploration of the latest methodologies in human development research. Twenty-four entirely new chapters by renowned experts introduce innovative approaches that reflect the dynamic evolution of developmental science methodologies. Part of the Blackwell Handbooks of Research Methods in Psychology series, this authoritative resource is indispensable for those seeking to apply state-of-the-art methods to the study of human development.

The second edition of the Handbook builds upon the strengths of its predecessor while incorporating significant updates to address emerging research challenges. It offers a comprehensive review of traditional and contemporary developmental research designs, including cross-sectional, longitudinal, and quasi-experimental methods, as well as advanced topics such as the Multiphasic Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework, time-varying effect modeling, and integrative data analysis. Additionally, the authors present fresh insights into causal inference, observational methods, and intervention research, providing a more nuanced understanding of how developmental scientists can study change over time.

Capturing the latest theoretical and technological advancements in the discipline, the Handbook of Research Methods in Developmental Science:

• Features a multidisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from psychology, human development, and family science
• Addresses challenges in developmental intervention research, including implementation science and adaptive intervention design
• Offers practical guidance on participant recruitment, panel maintenance, and best practices for obtaining reliable developmental data
• Includes real-world examples and case studies demonstrating the application of various research methods

The Handbook of Research Methods in Developmental Science, Second Edition, is an essential resource for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in developmental science, psychology, and human development. It is particularly relevant for courses in research methods, developmental psychology, and intervention science within psychology, education, and social sciences degree programs.
