Summary: "Originally proposed in 1975, the transactional model has become central to understanding the interplay of nature and nurture in explaining the development of positive and negative outcomes for children. Although scientists have long acknowledged that nature and nurture work together in producing positive or negative developmental outcomes, such cooperation has been difficult to demonstrate because of inadequate conceptual models, experimental designs, or statistical methodologies. This book documents the state-of-the-art research in developmental psychology for overcoming these inadequacies and presents new ideas for future work. The book is divided into five parts. Part I introduces the transactional model and designs for transactional research. Parts II and III focus on the predictive power of the transactional model and the many social settings that contribute to child progress. Part II specifically examines the relations between infants and children and their parents, focusing on the relationship between child characteristics and behaviors and parents' child-rearing beliefs and behaviors. Part III broadens the perspective on child development to include the effects of the interplay among children and parents, neighborhood, school, ethnic, and socioeconomic environments. Parts IV and V discuss new directions in transactional psychology and examine the idea of the transaction itself. The overall result is a comprehensive examination of the transactional model with a focus on practical implications for how children grow and develop"--Jacket.
