Summary
A developmental perspective in research involves describing an individual’s psychological, social, and behavioral changes across a span of time. It also assesses the similarities and differences in changes observed over time between individuals. The study may cover a lifespan, which constitutes infancy through adult hood, or limit its participants to a specific category such as children or the elderly.
