Developmental psychologists offer advice to colleagues on how to study human development in one of its more perplexing stages, adolescence. They describe an approach that takes change--often
unpredicted change--as the guiding principle. Among the topics are the search for process characteristics, using state space grids for understanding processes of change and stability in
adolescence, the art of building dynamic systems models, agent-based modeling in developmental psychology, and the search for relations between micro and macro development. Five appendices are
available online. Psychology Press is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
