Question

Dr. Chang is asked by Jiang's mother to explain why Jiang is easily distracted,

impulsive, and socially anxious. Given that medical history reveals the diagnosis of
ADHD in Jiang's father, Dr. Chang suggests Jiang may have a predisposition for the
learning disorder. Dr. Chang's views reflect the
perspective of
development?

Answer 1

Dr. Chang's views reflect the perspective of developmental psychology. Developmental psychology is the scientific study of how and why human beings change over the course of their life. It focuses on the development of individuals from infancy to old age, including physical, cognitive, and social development. In Jiang's case, Dr. Chang suggests that his predisposition for ADHD may be due to his father's medical history, which is a developmental perspective that considers the influence of genetics and environment on an individual's development.
