A new, interdisciplinary paradigm is emerging in developmental psychology. It includes contextual as well as individual variation and is more consonant with the complexity of adolescent behavior and development than traditional research paradigms. Social problems, such as poverty and racial discrimination, and the ways that young people negotiate adolescence successfully, are objects of research. A research program sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation, that embodies the new paradigm, is described.
一种新的跨学科范式正在发展心理学中兴起。它既包括情境变化也包括个体差异,并且比传统研究范式更符合青少年行为与发展的复杂性。诸如贫困和种族歧视等社会问题,以及年轻人成功度过青春期的方式,都是研究对象。本文描述了由麦克阿瑟基金会赞助的一个体现这种新范式的研究项目。
