Issues in Lifespan Development Discussion

Differentiate between the issues in lifespan development.

All subfields in psychology come with their own controversies. Lifespan psychology is certainly no different. Your text, LifeSmart: Exploring Human Development (Fiore, 2011) presents the issues well, helping you to understand both sides of the controversy and allowing you to form your own educated opinions.

• Review Chapter 1 in your text.
• Note that Nature & Nurture and Continuity & Discontinuity are the two main issues in lifespan development.
• Prepare to answer the following questions.
  • Which of these sides do you most agree with and why?
  • Explain why these two issues cause controversy in the field of lifespan psychology.
  • What would be a relevant Scripture to support your perspective?
