The Life-Course and Human Development: An Ecological Perspective.

Elder, Glen H., Jr.; Rockwell, Richard C.

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v2 n1 p1-22 Mar 1979

A life-course perspective is applied to the study of human development in an ecological context. Human lives are depicted in terms of aging, career and historical setting. The adequacy of global measures is assessed and explanatory assessments of the relation between environmental and personal change are recommended. (Author/RH)
