      abstract = {"This is the first methods handbook specifically designed  to meet the needs of those studying development. Leading  developmental methodologists present cutting-edge analytic  tools and describe how and when to use them in accessible,  nontechnical language. They also provide valuable guidance  for strengthening developmental research with designs that  anticipate potential sources of bias. Sections typically  begin with an overview chapter on foundational issues.  Subsequent chapters delve into specific techniques,  following a consistent format that encompasses basic  issues, conceptual principles and statistical assumptions,  recent technical advances, developmental applications, and  future directions. Research examples demonstrate the  procedures in action and give readers a better  understanding of how to match research questions to  developmental methods. The companion website supplies data  and program syntax files for many of the chapter  examples"--provided by publisher.},
