The sixth edition of this developmental psychology textbook has been meticulously updated to address the ever-growing body of research on human development across all life stages. Since its original publication, the task of incorporating new material while eliminating outdated content has become increasingly complex. This edition focuses on providing a comprehensive and current overview by expanding coverage on emerging topics, such as the challenges in studying different age groups, ethical considerations in research, and the impact of various social factors on personal adjustment. Significant enhancements include the addition of more illustrative boxes and cartoons to highlight and summarize key research findings, making the content more engaging and easier to remember. The chapters on middle and old age have been substantially expanded to reflect the surge in research in these areas, while discussions on childhood and adolescence have been streamlined, recognizing that many students will have covered these topics in other courses. Direct quotations from research studies have been increased to emphasize critical points, and the discussion on developmental hazards has been retained and expanded to help readers understand and mitigate these risks. Each chapter now includes key highlights and objectives to guide student learning. References have been streamlined to reduce distractions, with comprehensive bibliographies provided for further exploration. This edition aims to be an invaluable resource for both students and instructors in the field of developmental psychology.
