Sponsored by the Russell Sage Foundation, the Society of Research in Child Health and Development has undertaken the much needed task of presenting to the professional persons of various disciplines working with children a selective and interpretive review of child development research.
The present volume, which is the first of an announced series, deals predominantly with the social and psychologic aspects of child development. It covers a great variety of topics from infant care, parental separation, parental discipline, early group experience, effects of mass media, acquisition of sex typing and sex role identity, and development of moral character, to the genetic and neurophysiologic aspects of behavior.
