ABSTRACT

This article introduces the first part of a 2-part Special Issue of Ecological Psychology dedicated to the enhancement of developmental ecological research and theory and to finding common ground with broader ecologically relationally oriented developmental science. The Special Issue has been motivated by the observation that Developmental Ecological Psychology is a still emerging core discipline that has much to offer both to Ecological Psychology and to other ecological-dynamical-relational approaches in developmental science. This introduction briefly reviews the 4 articles in the first part of the Special Issue and urges further theoretical and empirical work in the framework of Developmental Ecological Psychology. We emphasize that an Ecological Psychology that does not include developmental theory and research over the life span and across species is not a complete Ecological Psychology.

摘要

本文介绍了生态心理学专刊（分为两部分）的第一部分致力于加强发展生态学研究和理论，并寻求与更广泛的生态关系导向的发展科学的共同点。本期专刊的发现是，发展生态心理学是一门仍在不断发展的核心学科，它可以为生态心理学以及发展科学中的其他生态动力学关系方法提供很多东西。引言简要回顾了《特刊》第一部分的四篇文章，并敦促在发展性生态心理学的框架内进一步开展理论和实证研究。我们强调，不包括整个生命周期和跨物种的发展理论和研究的生态心理学并不是完整的生态心理学。
