Human Development Is the Official Journal of JPS
We are thrilled to collaborate with our new editor (and past-president) David Witherington, Editor of Human Development, as well as members of the Karger team. We want to acknowledge with gratitude outgoing Human Development editor Susan Rivera for her contribution to this new partnership. We hope that all readers of Human Development will take a moment to consider joining the Jean Piaget Society for the Study of Knowledge and Development and/or attending our conference in Toronto in June 2024. We welcome the readership of Human Development to continue discussions of important issues pertaining to the study of human development with us.

Human Development Volume 67, No 2, 2023
The latest volume of Human Development contains an article highlighting that reconceptualizes the concept of parent psychological control (PPC) guided by Social Domain Theory, as well as an article that examines the epistemic trust (ET) as a specific facet of interpersonal trust (IT) and considers their role in the development of borderline pathology.
Along with these articles is a research paper about how to design educational methods that help students change their prior knowledge by highlighting several developmental teaching approaches that promote conceptual changes(with an accompanying commentary). Just in time for the new teaching semester to begin!
