Journals

• Applied Developmental Science journal
  The focus of Applied Developmental Science is the synthesis of research and application to promote positive development across the life span. Within a multidisciplinary approach, ADS stresses the variation of individual development across the life span -- including both individual differences and within-person change -- and the wide range of familial, cultural, physical, ecological, and historical settings of human development. The audience for ADS includes developmental, clinical, school, counseling, aging, educational, and community psychologists; life course, family, and demographic sociologists; health professionals; family and consumer scientists; human evolution and ecological biologists; and practitioners in child and youth governmental and non-governmental organizations.
  
  Applied Developmental Science, edited by Richard M. Lerner (Tufts University), Celia Fisher (Fordham University), and Lawrence Gianinno (Tufts University), is a quarterly journal published by Taylor & Francis.
