Abstract
This first chapter introduces the main goals of the monograph and previews the remaining chapters. The goals of this monograph are to provide summaries of our current understanding of advanced developmental methodologies, provide information that can advance our understanding of human development, identify shortcomings in our understanding of developmental methodology, and serve as a flagpost for organizing developmental methodology as a subdiscipline within the broader field of developmental science. The remaining chapters in this monograph address issues in design (sampling and big data), longitudinal data analysis, and issues of replication and research accumulation. The final chapter describes the history of developmental methodology, considers how the previous chapters in this monograph fit within this subdiscipline, and offers recommendations for further advancement.
期刊介绍:
Since 1935, Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development has been a platform for presenting in-depth research studies and significant findings in child development and related disciplines. Each issue features a single study or a collection of papers on a unified theme, often complemented by commentary and discussion. In alignment with all Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) publications, the Monographs facilitate the exchange of data, techniques, research methods, and conclusions among development specialists across diverse disciplines. Subscribing to the Monographs series also includes a full subscription (6 issues) to Child Development, the flagship journal of the SRCD, and Child Development Perspectives, the newest journal from the SRCD.
