Traditionally, research on child and adolescent development has focused on American youth, inadvertently neglecting 96% of the world's children. This all-encompassing volume introduces global perspectives on young people worldwide, focusing on such topics as parenting and childcare, gender roles, violence against girls, adolescence in poor and rich countries, and developmental psychopathology across cultures. Recently updated, this edition includes the latest findings in the field, additional content, and new photos and charts.
