Life span development is a fairly new concept. For many years, child psychology was studied, but it was assumed that most, if not all, of one's important development, had occurred by the beginning of early adulthood. In other words, psychologists believed that the major changes associated with aging were completed by the end of adolescence. Why do you think psychologists are now studying the entire life span? How does the realization that significant events occur throughout our lives affect our lives in general? What scientific methodologies and research designs are commonly used in life span psychology? In the study of life span development, which methodology and research design do you believe produces the best results? Why?

00:04 The lifespan development basically is a study of how human learn, mature and adapt from infancy to adulthood to the early phases of life.

00:19 So lifespan development.

00:32 So the question is that, so the question is why the psychologists are now studying the entire lifespan? so they are studying the entire lifespan because they have recognized entire lifespan because they have recognized that growth continue to occur throughout all stages of life.

01:50 So it has been acknowledged that important changes both physical and psychological takes place beyond early adulthood and that individuals continue to develop, adapt and learn new skills throughout their life.

02:08 This shift in focus reflects a broader understanding of human development and the realization is that the development is a lifelong process.

02:20 So development is a lifelong process.

02:30 So then next, the recognition that significant events occur throughout our lives has important implication for the individuals.

02:47 So the next question arises is that how does the realization that significant events occur throughout our lives affect our life in general? so it highlights the potential for growth, learning and change at any age encouraging a more optimistic and proactive perspective on personal development.

03:17 So realization significant events occur throughout our lives has important implications for individuals.

03:56 So it highlights for potential growth, learning and change at any age encouraging a more optimistic and proactive perspective on personal development.

05:14 So it challenges the notion that development is limited to childhood and adolescence and emphasize the importance of continuous self -reflection, adaptation and the personal growth.

05:32 So in the field of the lifespan psychology, a variety of scientific methodology and research designs are commonly used.

05:41 So in the field of lifespan psychology, a variety of methods and research design are commonly used to study human development.

06:53 So the design which are used are longitudinal studies, longitudinal studies, cross -sectional studies, sequential designs, design etc.

07:30 So the longitudinal study involves following a group of individual over an extended period of time collecting data at multiple time outputs.

07:38 So this allows researcher to track and analyze the changes and quantity in the development over a period of time...
