In this volume, authors of the New York Longitudinal Study of the 1960s stress the dynamic nature of psychological development, and the variables of heredity and environment, biology and culture, continuity and change, emotion and thought.

Condition: Sehr gut. Umschlag berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - nachlass Fred Wyatt. - A major premise of this volume is that development is dynamic at all age-periods. The interactionist view presented by Thomas and Chess emphasizes "the dialectical unity of simultaneously operative and mutually opposite dynamic forces-heredity and environment; biology and culture; continuity and change; emotion and thought." Arguments separating the effects of nature and nurture, attributing so much to heredity and so much to environment, are meaningless. Growth is seen as taking place through the ongoing, complex, dynamic interaction of innate capabilities and environment. In the early chapters, Thomas and Chess establish the basic tenets of their interactionist approach, emphasizing the adaptive function of the mind, the plasticity of the brain and of human development, the goals of task mastery and social competence which are evident from birth onward, and the categories of motivations, abilities and temperament. The infant emerges as a truly human organism with a unique capacity for learning, adapting and pursuing two basic goals-the development of social relations and the mastery of skills and tasks.
