"Although the importance of context has been emphasized by temperament researchers, until now there has been remarkably little systematic research on the unique role that specific aspects of context play in the development and impact of temperament. The goal of this volume is to systematize current knowledge and theory on the linkage between specific aspects of context and the etiology, expression, and influence of temperament.".
"Reflecting the editors' view that the interface between temperament and context is a bi-directional phenomenon, the volume focuses on three broad issues: how individual differences in temperament act to influence the proximal context within which the individual functions; how individual differences in proximal context act to influence both individual temperament and changes in temperament over time; and how our ability to predict developmental outcomes as a function of individual variability in temperament depends, in part, on the nature of the individual's context." "This book is recommended for use by scholars and practitioners involved in the developmental science and family studies areas."--BOOK JACKET.
