| | Developmental psychology is that part of psychology concerned with behavioral change across the life-span from childhood to later adulthood. | | | Main goals of developmental psychology are (1) to describe age changes as accurately as possible e.g., to obtain a profile of the typical child or adult at various ages for physical, cognitive, and psychosocial domains; and (2) to explain the process of change, i.e. | | | The cornerstone of developmental psychology is the developmental point of view; i.e. |

| | FQS 1(2) Günter Mey: Qualitative Research and the Analysis of Processes |
| | A developmental psychology, which does not only consider "qualitative thinking" more carefully, but also re-accesses the own tradition of developmental thinking, could—this is finally only briefly noted—also give important impulses for qualitative approaches, which are still less unfolded in the concrete research work than their programs suggest. | | | The designation "qualitative developmental psychology" does not direct at a new program for a (sub-) discipline; this would be doubtful also for qualitative research in view of the reproach of "method inversion"—the a priori decision for a method before any elaboration of contents—addressed by Gerd JUETTEMANN (1983) to quantitative psychology. | | | Nevertheless the bulk of developmental psychologists is limited to the use of "semi-structured" interviews and towards data analysis—as already mentioned for the use of qualitative methods in general—an attitude and practice is prevailing to organize the research process in such a way that at the end a quantification can be carried out. |
