"As the title suggests, this is a wide-ranging handbook forstudents and researchers covering five key areas: developmentalresearch designs, issues around development measurement, dataanalysis, methods in developmental psychology and new directions indevlopmental research. A state of the art treatment." TheScientific and Medical Network
"This book will become a classic. It fills a void indevelopmental science by providing a comprehensive review ofdevelopmental designs and methods in a way that is both accessibleand compelling. By providing examples of differing methods usedacross different domains of inquiry, the Handbook does anexcellent job of capturing the variation in research that isdevelopmental science. I will use it as a reference for years tocome." Sarah Mangelsdorf, University of Illinois atUrbana-Champaign
"A fascinating, essential resource for developmentalscientists. This volume examines cutting-edge issues in design,measurement, analytic methods, and applications in chapters byleading researchers. As they profile state-of-the-art methods inspecific research areas, the contributors offer a portrayal ofdevelopmental science as innovative, challenging, and vigorous.This is an important collection that experienced and noviceinvestigators will find valuable." Ross Thompson,University of California, Davis
