Cohen Life-Span Developmental Psychology Methodological Contributions 1 Oxford Psychology Press 20191025 296 p Dealing with the methodological and data analytic problems in developmental research, this book presents solutions advanced from the disciplinary perspectives of psychology, behavior analysis and behavioral systems, sociology, and anthropology.
