Helps students understand how culture impacts development - and why it matters.

Human Development: A Cultural Approach leads students to examine all stages of development through the engaging lens of culture

The first product to take a wholly cultural approach to human development, this product integrates cross-cultural examples throughout the narrative to reveal the impact of cultural factors both in Australia/New Zealand and around the world.

The authors' emphasis on culture fosters a thorough, balanced view of development that prepares students to face challenges in our diverse and globalised world - whether they travel the globe or remain in their hometowns. 

Additionally, this product:

  • Has respected current content mapped to industry standards, delivered in a range of customisable formats
    • Has local content woven with global content to present multiculturalism across the world
    • Indigenous Australian and Māori contexts highlighted throughout 
  • Research in psychology recognises indigenous cultures and knowledge 
  • Shows the progression of psychology as a discipline, demonstrating its maturity from isolated testing and instead analyses and applies global cultural differences.
