Handbook of developmental systems theory and methodology / edited by Peter C.M. Molenaar, Richard M. Lerner, Karl M. Newell.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Discusses key theoretical concepts of developemental systems theory (such as self-organization, reciprocal dynamic interaction, and probabilistic epigenesis) and in turn, key methods linked to these concepts. Provides a theoretical and methodological lens through which scientists may study and test developmental systems theory with state-of-the art statistical dynamic modeling tools. Synthesizes and presents the latest quantitative modeling techniques for studying between -and within-individual developmental differences and changes and their complex dynamic interactions with environmental influences.
