Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology

期刊简介：The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology (JADP) publishes scholarly empirical research relating to human development. The Journal focuses on two key concepts: human development and application of knowledge. Human development refers to the transformations and changes that occur during the life cycle and the processes or mechanisms which influence individuals' behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and moral development. Application refers to how the knowledge gained from research can be applied to the improvement of developmental outcomes, such as through policy making or within educational, clinical, and social settings. Consequently, papers published in JADP explicitly articulate how findings can be applied to improving the lives of children, youth and young adults. JADP publishes studies on a broad array of social issues and contexts (e.g., differences in cultural, racial, social and learning contexts) that impact human development.

【译文】《应用发展心理学杂志》（JADP）发表与人类发展相关的学术实证研究。该杂志关注两个关键概念：人类发展和知识应用。人的发展是指生命周期中发生的转变和变化，以及影响个体行为、认知、情感和道德发展的过程或机制。应用是指如何将从研究中获得的知识应用于改善发展成果，例如通过政策制定或在教育、临床和社会环境中。因此，JADP 上发表的论文明确阐述了如何将研究结果应用于改善儿童、青少年和年轻人的生活。 JADP 发表关于影响人类发展的广泛社会问题和背景（例如文化、种族、社会和学习背景的差异）的研究。
