Research in Human Development

Scope

Research in Human Development ( RHD) promotes conceptual, empirical, and methodological integrative and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of human development across the entire life span. The journal emphasizes theory and research concerning person-context relationships across the life course, and the employment of a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods (e.g., multilevel, multivariate, longitudinal methods). As an interdisciplinary journal, RHD incorporates biological, psychological, sociological, anthropological, economic, and historical perspectives. The journal advances scholarship on the social and cultural contexts of human development in national and international settings. Moreover, it informs social policies and programs that promote positive and healthy development for all people. RHD is comprised of special issues, and all manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer-reviewed process.
