发展心理学(第3版)

本书讲述了一个故事，一个关于我们自己、我们父辈和我们后代的生活故事。这是一个关于人类的故事，从中我们可以看到一个人如何成长他自己、如何走完他的一生。 与其他学科不同的是，人生发展研究讲述的是非常贴近我们个人生活的事情。它涵盖了一个人从被孕育直到死亡的整个历程。虽然这门学科也借助和采用各种概念、观点和理论，但它的核心是人——我们的父母、朋友、熟人和我们自己。 《发展心理学：一生的发展》力求以一种能够激发、培养并塑造读者兴趣的方式，来讲解该学科的精髓。希望本书能够引发学生对该学科的兴趣，引导他们用该学科的观点看世界，让他们理解有关人生发展的问题。通过介绍人生发展研究的民果、现状以及未来的发展趋势，我们希望学生即使在结束对该学科的正式学习之后很长时间内，仍能保持对它的浓厚兴趣。
