Abstract
Jerome Kagan was a psychologist and pioneer of developmental psychology, but he was intrigued by the natural sciences and read widely across history, biography, poetry, philosophy, cross-cultural anthropology, and the humanities. Drawing on unpublished archival and other primary source material, this essay describes two of Kagan's seminal studies in child development to demonstrate how their "contexts" facilitated scientific discovery and Kagan's own development as a researcher. A subset of Kagan's archival papers-including grant materials, correspondence, personal notes, and clipped articles-are also discussed to showcase the personal and scholastic material that Kagan read, wrote, and annotated, and which further advanced his scientific thinking. Collectively, these materials reveal the multiple contexts, both applied and private, in which Kagan "saw," thereby guiding his interdisciplinary approach to the scientific study of child development.

期刊介绍：
Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
