WADE, University of Colorado Medical School, Denver, Colorado Preface How are we to understand the complex forces that shape human behavior? A variety of diverse perspectives, drawing upon studies of human behavioral ontogeny, as well as humanity's evolutionary herit- age seem to provide the best likelihood of success. It is in the attempt to synthesize such potentially disparate approaches to human develop- ment into an integrated whole that we undertake this series on the Genesis of Behavior. In many respects, the incredible burgeoning of research in child development over the last decade or two seems like a thousand lines of inquiry spreading outward in an incoherent starburst of effort. The need exists to provide, on an ongoing basis, an arena of discourse within which the threads of continuity between those diverse lines of research on human development can be woven into a fabric of meaning and understanding. Scientists, scholars, and those who attempt to translate their efforts into the practical realities of the care and guidance of infants and children are the audience that we seek to reach. Each requires the opportunity to see-to the degree that our knowledge in given areas permits-various aspects of development in a coherent, integrated fashion. It is hoped that this series-by bringing together research on infant biology; developing infant capacities; animal models, the impact of social, cultural, and familial forces on development, and the distorted products of such forces under certain circumstances-will serve these important social and scientific needs. This se~ies, Genesis of Behavior, is the successor to a previous series of volumes by us entitled Origins of Behavior. As in the past, it is our intention that each volume in this series will deal with a single topic that has broad significance for our understanding of vii viii PREFACE human development. Into its focus on a specific area, each volume will bring both empirical and theoretical perspectives and analysis at the many levels of investigation necessary to a balanced appreciation of the complexity of the problem at hand. Thus, each volume will consider the confluence of the genetic, physiological, and neurophysiological factors that influence the individual infant and the dyadic, familial, and societal contexts within which development occurs. Moreover, each volume will bring together the vantage points provided by studies of human infants and pertinent aspects of animal behavior, with particular emphasis on nonhuman primates. Just as this series will draw upon the special expertise and view- points of workers in many disciplines, it is our hope that the product of these labors will speak to the needs and interests of a diverse audience, including physiologists, ethologists, sociologists, psychologists, pedia- tricians, obstetricians, and clinicians and scientists in many related fields. As in years past, we hold to our original objectives in this series of volumes to provide both stimulation and guidance to all among us who are concerned with humans, their past, their present, and their future. The present volume, the first in the series Genesis of Behavior, represents the concerted attempt to awaken interest in, focus atten- tion on, and motivate others to study the development of affect. While the history of psychology attests to the interest in affect, until recently relatively little attention or effort has been given to the inquiry into affective development. Thus, in the last two decades, a plethora of studies on cognitive and perceptual development have appeared while affective development has been almost ignored. Given our commitment to the integration of diverse categories of human behavior into a balanced and holistic approach to development, such an absence of material appears unwarranted and potentially dangerous for the con- struction of models of growth, development, and change. With the emergence of new technologies, as in facial measurement or measure- ment of autonomic nervous system responsivity, and the growth of our knowledge about the perceptual and cognitive development of the growing child, it would appear that there now exists a significant set of tools and theoretical perspectives to allow us to undertake the explora- tion of the development of a significant category of human behavior that is still relatively unexplored: affective growth and development. The structure of the volume is such that the reader will be able to find information on general issues in the study of affect, the measure- ment of affect, the relationship of affect to cognition and the develop- ment of self, and, from a clinical perspective, individual differences in affect development and affective dysfunction, particularly as it appears in Down's syndrome infants. These various perspectives within the PREFACE ix domain of affect provide an integrated framework in which to view the meaning and development of affect. The chapters in this volume derive from papers presented and discussed at a conference on affect development held under the auspices and with the support of Educational Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey. The participants in the conference were Clara Mears Harlow, Harry F. Harlow, Joseph J. Campos, Harriet Oster, Jeannette Haviland, Jeanne Brooks, Michael Lewis, Robert Emde, Dante Cicchetti, Jerome Kagan, Leonard A. Rosenblum, Therese Gouin Decarie, Sally Provence, Martin Hoffman, Carroll Izard, Allen Wiesenfeld, and Carolyn Saarni. Michael Lewis Princeton, New Jersey Leonard A. Rosenblum Brooklyn, New York
