The contributions in this volume reflect the high level of research currently under way in many parts of the world in the area of developmental psychology, with ten countries from five continents represented in the book. The volume shows the extent to which theorizing and research is currently focused on different portions of the life span. The 40 chapters in this book provide a broad and complementary coverage of many domains of contemporary psychological development from infancy to senescence. Results of several major longitudinal studies complement the cross-sectional ones. Consistent with the field, much of the book pertains to social, cognitive and emotional development during the beginning of the life span. The remaining chapters demonstrate that development continues well beyond childhood where Havighurst's notion of life tasks provides cohesion on such topics as: Adolescent identity, inter-generational relations, options in early adulthood concerning career and family development, cognitive ageing and its interface with everyday functioning. Life span themes of the contextual, multidimensional, multidirectional and plastic nature of development are pervasive.
The field of social psychology was one of the largest broad disciplinary areas represented at the Congress, and the papers selected for this volume give a fresh and exciting overview of the current state of the discipline. The volume aims to present a well-integrated and balanced survey of contemporary social psychology that may be read as a book in its own right or used as an up-to-date work of reference. This volume surveys the most recent developments in social psychology with over fifty papers by outstanding researchers from all over the world. The major research areas covered include attitudes, values and beliefs, attribution research, social cognition, emotion and affect, social perception, judgment and decisions, interpersonal behaviour and communication, groups, leadership, social influence processes, the self, personality and social adaptation, socialisation and cross-cultural psychology. The volume contains both empirical and theoretical papers and is aimed at students and researchers in social psychology and in neighbouring disciplines, such as cross-cultural, cognitive, developmental, personality and clinical psychology, social work and sociology.
