Social Development

Explores all aspects of social development in the early parts of the lifespan (generally infancy through adolescence) as seen from a psychological stance.

The journal is an outlet for innovative and high-quality empirical research, debates and comments on theoretical and empirical issues, and literature reviews.

Social Development aims to foster a developmental science perspective - a focus on the developmental processes that underlie the origins of, maintenance of, and change in social development. It particularly supports research (a) that considers the trajectory in development within the scope of where individuals have come from and where they are going, and (b) across systems, including cultural and historical influences, and within systems, including interrelations between social, cognitive, physiological systems. In addition, it publishes research that informs both basic science and application, and that, in its conduct, scope, and implications, contributes to the intersection of developmental science and various forms of justice (including but not restricted to economic, social, racial, environmental, international justice).
