Entwicklungspsychologie kompakt

What can a newborn perceive? When does morality develop? What contributes to well-being in old age? Developmental psychology, as one of the most popular and illustrative fields, provides answers to these and many more questions.

This introductory textbook examines the life course from birth to old age. It includes numerous examples, summaries, and exam questions. For each stage of life—childhood and adolescence, adulthood, and old age—the relevant areas of competence are presented: cognition, social behavior, motivation, emotion, personality and identity, developmental influences, and life events.

"Developmental Psychology in a Nutshell" is a textbook and workbook for students of psychology and education: clearly written and easy to understand, well-structured, and filled with many thought-provoking or learning-oriented questions.
