Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This work provides a theoretical and methodological exploration of longitudinal studies on child development. Covering everything from experimental design and data analysis to recent examples of longitudinal researchfindings. This work is a major forum for rethinking issues and strategies for future research. The book is divided into five sections covering theoretical perspectives, domains of longitudinal research, sources of data, experimental design and data analysis, and cutting-edge research findings. * * Discusses longitudinal studies of children's health, cognitive development, and psychological well-being * Provides investigation of persons and instruments used in longitudinal research * Explores experimental designs and data analysis of longitudinal research studies Review:"Longitudinal research is expensive, time consuming, fraught with pitfalls, and plain hard work. However, the amount of rich information that results justifies the effort. Developmental Follow-Up is a fine volume. I recommend it to developmental researchers who are in the midst of longitudinal studies, to others who are thinking about initiating longitudinal research, and to still others who only engage in cross-sectional research. Overall, the material in this book is sound enough to convince even die-hard skeptics... The volume is nicely balanced in terms of content... This book will be a worthy addition to the libraries of developmentally oriented clinicians, researchers, and graduate students. The content is informative and clear." --Claire B.
