Toward an experimental ecology of human development.
TLDR
In this paper, a broader approach to research in human development is proposed that focuses on the pro- gressive accommodation, throughout the life span, between the growing human organism and the changing environments in which it actually lives and grows.Abstract:
A broader approach to research in hu- j man development is proposed that focuses on the pro- \ gressive accommodation, throughout the life span, between the growing human organism and the changing environments in which it actually lives and grows. \ The latter include not only the immediate settings containing the developing person but also the larger social contexts, both formal and informal, in which these settings are embedded. In terms of method, the approach emphasizes the use of rigorousj^d^igned exp_erjments, both naturalistic and contrived, beginning in the early stages of the research process. The chang- ing relation between person and environment is con- ceived in systems terms. These systems properties are set forth in a series of propositions, each illus- trated by concrete research examples.read more

Social Identities in Contexts An Ecological Model of Multicultural Counseling Psychology Processes
Helen A. Neville,Michael Mobley +1 more
Abstract: The five articles comprising the Major Contribution in this issue are synthesized and serve as the foundation of an ecological model for contextualizing multicultural counseling psychology processes. Specifically, the proposed contextual model outlines the recursive influence of individual and systemic factors on multiple subsystems (i.e., macrosystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and microsystem) influencing human behavior. Implications for multicultural training practices that are grounded in the contextual model as well as recent multicultural counseling literature are provided.

What about the leader? Crossover of emotional exhaustion and work engagement from followers to leaders.
TL;DR: This study is the first to show that crossover of emotional exhaustion and work engagement can unfold over time from team members to leaders, and main theoretical implications lie in the finding that followers’ psychological states can pose a demand or resource for Leaders, and influence their well-being.

Construct validity in psychological tests.
Lee J. Cronbach,Paul E. Meehl +1 more
TL;DR: The present interpretation of construct validity is not "official" and deals with some areas where the Committee would probably not be unanimous, but the present writers are solely responsible for this attempt to explain the concept and elaborate its implications.
