The Scientific Construction of Developmental Norms

WRITINGS > FINISHED

Although the notion of a dialectical (or reciprocal) relationship between psychology and culture has been nominally acknowledged for over a generation, it is only recently and tentatively that the study of developmental norms has begun to be shaped by this fact. This paper presents a theoretical outline of this relationship and the resulting need for a self-conscious (or reflexive) study of developmental norms.
