Empirical and theoretical developments over the last twenty years have led to a growing realisation that to fully understand the development of the child we need to consider it within a social context.

The Psychology of Social Development provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to this ‘fusion’ sub-field of psychology, taking the reader from first principles to an advanced understanding. The book explores socio-emotional development and social learning, as well as the history of thinking, and the evolutionary roots of social development, whilst also providing a clear balance between nature and nurture approaches. Taylor and Workman’s user-friendly writing style accommodates readers with no previous knowledge of the subject area whilst exploring the most up-to-date theories and research from various areas of psychology which have gained relevance to developmental psychology.

Featuring student-friendly pedagogy throughout, including end-of-chapter summaries, further reading recommendations and questions for discussion, The Psychology of Social Development will be essential reading for undergraduates on Social Development or Developmental Psychology courses.
