Seeks to understand how and why people of all ages and circumstances change or remain the same over time. Multidirectional: over time, human characteristics change in every direction. Critical period: time when certain things must occur for normal development; prenatal. Sensitive period: time when a particular development occurs most easily. Ecological systems: each person is affected by many social contexts and interpersonal interactions. Cohort: someone born in the same year (such as 1997) Ses: socioeconomic status- income, wealth, occupation, education, and neighborhood. Difference vs deficit: humans tend to believe that they, their nation, and their culture are better than others. Ethnicity: social construction, affected by social context, not a direct outcome of biology. Read using the word race on page 16 of textbook. Multidisciplinary: genes alone do not determine development. Plasticity: human traits can be molded, yet people maintain a certain durability of identity.
