Although developmental science has always been evolving, these times of fast-paced and profound social and scientific changes easily lead to disorienting fragmentation rather than coherent scientific advances. What directions should developmental science pursue to meaningfully address real-world problems that impact human development throughout the lifespan? What conceptual or policy shifts are needed to steer the field in these directions? The present manifesto is proposed by a group of scholars from various disciplines and perspectives within developmental science to spark conversations and action plans in response to these questions. After highlighting four critical content domains that merit concentrated and often urgent research efforts, two issues regarding "how" we do developmental science and "what for" are outlined. This manifesto concludes with five proposals, calling for integrative, inclusive, transdisciplinary, transparent, and actionable developmental science. Specific recommendations, prospects, pitfalls, and challenges to reach this goal are discussed.

关于发展科学新方向的宣言

尽管发展科学一直在发展，但这些时代的快速，深刻的社会和科学变革很容易导致混乱的混乱，而不是连贯的科学进步。发展科学应采取什么方向来有意义地解决影响整个生命周期中人类发展的现实问题？需要采取什么概念或政策转变来朝着这些方向发展？本宣言是由一群来自发展科学领域内各个学科和观点的学者提出的，以激发人们对这些问题的对话和行动计划。在重点介绍了值得重点关注且经常需要紧急研究的四个关键内容领域之后，概述了有关“我们如何进行发展科学”和“做什么”的两个问题。该宣言以五项建议作为结尾，呼吁建立综合，包容，跨学科，透明和可操作的发展科学。讨论了实现此目标的具体建议，前景，陷阱和挑战。
