  • humanizing Developmental science to promote positive development of young men of color
    2016
    Co-Authors: Patrick H Tolan
    Abstract:

    Stevenson (chapter “Dueling Narratives: Racial Socialization and Literacy as Triggers for Re-Humanizing African American Boys, Young Men, and Their Families”) provides a compelling scientific framing of critical issues and important findings for a humanized narrative for understanding, supporting, and facilitating successful development of boys of color. The purpose of this chapter is to bring my perspective as a Developmental Scientist with an ecological orientation to augment his suggestions. Three areas of work and critical analysis are highlighted: humanizing intervention evaluation, humanizing Developmental pathways research narratives, and humanizing the Developmental Scientist. Critical theoretical and methodological principles, and opportunities for pursuing excellent Developmental research and sounder action, are suggested. The intent is to move from the current impoverished and deficient state of understanding of young men of color to an empathic and more useful one.

  • training the applied Developmental Scientist for prevention and practice two current examples
    Social Policy Report, 1997
    Co-Authors: Celia B Fisher, Joy D Osofsky
    Abstract:

    ©1997 Society for Research in Child Development. All rights reserved. This report complements a recent SRCD Social Policy Report prepared by graduate students on training and career options for Developmental Scientists (see SusmanStillman et al., 1996). That report elaborated on several themes related to students seeking opportunities to apply Developmental principles to address social problems, with emphasis on the knowledge, skills, and experiences that can help professionals bridge the gap between science and policy. The present report focuses on applied Developmental science training in psychology departments and medical schools where the emphasis is on direct delivery of services aimed at the identification of Developmental risk and the prevention and remediation of Developmental problems. We present detailed descriptions of two training programs. Although each program incorporates the conjoint aspects of application, development, and science, they differ dramatically in their educational settings, problem foci, student bodies, and curricula:

  • the Developmental Scientist s companion improving research methodology and achieving professional success
    2017
    Co-Authors: Steven J Reznick
    Abstract:

    Written by one of Developmental science's foremost methodologists, The Developmental Scientist's Companion provides an engaging and accessible guide to the scientific techniques that have been devised to investigate human development. Adopting an original approach to what can be a dry yet essential topic, Reznick enlivens his coverage of key issues in Developmental methodology - measuring psychological phenomena, assessing reliability and validity, experimental design, interviews and surveys, data collection and analysis and interpreting research results - with discussion of his own experiences of those various techniques, gained over a substantial research career. The Companion concludes with practical tips for improving the field and navigating a path to professional success. Reznick's 'behind-the-scenes' view of empirical research and career progression, told with wit, wisdom and insight, is essential reading for students and young researchers launching their careers in Developmental science.
