Description
Emotional Development is a topic that embraces a range of disciplines, including, psychology, neuroscience, sociology, primatology, philosophy, history, cognitive science, computer science, and education.
The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development is the first volume of its kind to include such a multidisciplinary group of experts to consider this topic, and as such, provides perhaps the most complete examination yet of how emotions develop and manifest themselves neuronally, intra- and interpersonally, across different cultures and species, and over time.
The volume is separated into five themes: macro and micro underpinnings; communication and understanding; interactive contexts; socialization and learning; and morality and prosocial behaviour. Each section includes contributions from researchers in at least three disciplines, resulting in a volume that is destined to provoke the interested reader into either purposively or accidentally discovering emotional development from novel and stimulating perspectives. The chapters are written to be concise in their overview and accessible to the researcher or intellectually curious person alike. The reader can enjoy state of the art critical analysis of emotional development from different viewpoints, which, whether dipped into casually or read as a whole, will provide the best view of not only what we know today about emotional development, but also where the future study of emotional development lies.
The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development is an original and important contribution to the literature in psychology and the affective sciences.

Reviews / Votes
This is a truly exceptional Handbook. It is less a compendium of past contributions and more one of projections into needed future work. Its content is guided not solely by psychological theories, but also by sociology, primatology, history, philosophy, computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education -- each of which impresses its own color in to the picture one gets of human development. The chapters are cogent, generally well written, and often create seamless blends of theory and findings into deeper understanding of the areas covered in the book. The volume is truly a MUST for understanding not only previous contributions to human development, but also forecasting cross-disciplinary forays into important new fields. * Joseph J. Campos, Professor of Psychology, University of California, Berkeley; Co-Founder International Society for Research on Emotions * So much is being written about emotional development in contemporary neuroscience, sociology, moral psychology, education, and moral philosophy - in addition to developmental psychology - but so little of it aims at building bridges between disciplines. This new interdisciplinary Handbook ameliorates a lacuna in the available literature and sets high standards for any subsequent work. I strongly recommend it for all researchers and students working on the development and cultivation of emotional capacities. * Kristjan Kristjansson, University of Birmingham (Author of Virtuous Emotions, OUP, 2018) * This unique volume will prove invaluable to scholars wishing to broaden their perspective on emotional development. In addition to contributions by developmental psychologists, it includes chapters by scholars from a variety of disciplines including philosophy, history, primatology, and sociology. Venturing outside the laboratory, many contributing authors focus on how emotions function in the context of social interactions and relationships. Reading this important book inspired me to think about emotional developmental in new and different ways * Linda Camras, Professor Emerita, College of Science and Health, DePaul University * For emotion researchers that grasp the importance of interdisciplinary research, the Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development is sure to be an indispensable resource. Drawing on leading thinkers across affective science, computational science and the humanities, the Handbook brings about a welcome and overdue integration of developmental research, spanning timescales from the firing of neurons to the evolution of civilizations. It is sure to stimulate the field for years to come. * Jonathan Gratch, Research Professor of Computer Science, USC Affective Computing Group, USC * This handbook offers an excellent insight into the complexity of research on emotional development. The editors have succeeded in bringing together renowned scholars from a wide range of disciplines, whose contributions reflect the diversity of aspects that interact in emotional development processes. The handbook captivates through the underlying understanding of emotions as multifaceted and highly dynamic processes over time and the importance given to different temporal dimensions in this context. * Prof. Dr. Birgitt Roettger-Roessler, Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Freie Universitaet Berlin *More details
