DESCRIPTION
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology provides a forum for the presentation of conceptual,methodological, policy, and research studies involved in the application of behavioral science research in developmental and life span psychology . The Journal publishes quality papers from an
interdisciplinary perspective focusing on a broad array of social issues.
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur
during the life cycle and influence an individual's behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process.
Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span.
Most importantly, the Journal demonstrates how knowledge gained from research can be applied to policy making and to educational, clinical, and social settings.
