Psychological Growth: Ethical Concerns

About The Book

The scientific study of how and why human beings change throughout the course of their lifetime is referred to as psychological development. The field of study first focused on newborns and children, but it has now grown to cover adolescents, adults, the elderly, and development across the entire lifetime. This area of study looks at how people change across three primary dimensions: physically, cognitively, and emotionally. These three dimensions contain a wide variety of subtopics, some of which are motor skills, executive functions, moral understanding, language acquisition, social transformation, personality development, emotional development, self-concept formation, and identity creation. In order to provide a more in-depth examination of the topic, the scope of the discussion and analysis in this book has been narrowed down to cover only physiological and psychological aspects of the topic. It is hoped that the book would garner support from a greater number of lecturers and academics. Researchers and students of psychology, sociology, child development, family studies, and other related subjects, as well as professionals interested in such fields, will find this book to be of interest.
