Individual Development from an Interactional Perspective (Psychology Revivals)

This book explores a longitudinal study on individual development and adjustment, offering insights into psychological growth and interactional perspectives.

Originally published in 1988, Individual Development from an Interactional Perspective (Psychology Revivals) presents a longitudinal research project known as 'Individual Development and Adjustment' (IDA). This project was meticulously planned and executed at the Department of Psychology, University of Stockholm. The research offers insights into the various factors that contribute to individual development and adjustment over time.

The book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of the IDA project, detailing the planning stages and the data collection process that took place during the project's second phase. At this point, the participants had transitioned into adulthood, providing a rich context for examining developmental trajectories. The authors emphasize the importance of interactional perspectives in understanding individual growth.

Furthermore, Individual Development from an Interactional Perspective (Psychology Revivals) presents several empirical studies that illustrate the findings derived from the collected data. These studies serve as practical examples of how theoretical concepts were applied in real-world scenarios, enhancing our understanding of individual differences in development and adjustment. This work is a valuable contribution to the fields of psychology and human development, offering both theoretical insights and practical implications for researchers and practitioners alike.
