Discussion Thread: Empirically Based Theories

Researchers who study lifespan development approach the field from several perspectives. Each general perspective encompasses one or more theories – broad, organized explanations and predictions concerning phenomena of interest. Developmental theories provide a framework for understanding the relationships among a seemingly unorganized set of facts or principles.

Compare and contrast two human growth and development theories and discuss empirical support. Then read Spirituality and Religiosity in the Developing Person (Papaleontiou - Louca, 2025) and discuss research on spiritual development and how it could be connected to the other areas of development (physical, emotional, and social).
