The Development of Ethical Civic Actors in Divided Societies: A Longitudinal Case
This 4-year case study of the development of Gabriela, as civic actor during secondary school, comes from a cross-national study of civic development in divided societies. Her case contributes to developmental theory and adds to civics research by exploring how school, family, and community are intertwined with civic development. Gabriela's ethical civic development is both remarkable and uneven. She overcomes seemingly insurmountable struggles to project her voice in the world. Her story shows the critical nature of intertwined support from her school and family to make this growth possible. Her remaining struggle - to ac...

Developmental Affordances of War-Torn Landscapes: Growing up in Sarajevo under Siege
Young people growing up in war zones experience significant changes of their physical and social environments caused by urban destruction. Employing the methodology of narrative inquiry, this work theoretically explores environmental and spatial affordances enabling sociocognitive development among young people growing up during the 4-year military siege of Sarajevo. The theoretical analysis focuses on two environmental contexts - war school and the Sarajevo war tunnel - and examines how affordances of physical environments, symbolically enacted in language, scaffold developmental activities during this highly specific war...

Youth and Resilience in Postconflict Settings: An Intervention for War-Affected Youth in Sierra Leone
This study reviews findings from the 14-year Longitudinal Study of War-Affected Youth in Sierra Leone and a recent intervention study examining a short-term group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)-based intervention for war-affected youth, and discusses the implications of the impact of interventions for understanding and promoting resilience in war-affected youth. The results suggest that group CBT approaches may be a cost-effective means of targeting support to youth most in need of psychosocial support in postconflict settings.Human Development 2016;59:64-80 (Source: Human Development)

Collective Practices of Human Development in Political Violence and Its Long Shadow
Research on human development in violently and rapidly changing contexts requires innovative concepts, methods, and outcomes. Toward that end, articles in this issue focus on practice-based research in situations of adversity during and after acute phases of violent conflict. The goal of this issue is to focus on intersubjective sense-making - how children and youth in situations of violence, displacement, and other attendant consequences interact with those circumstances and with other people, especially in collectives intervening on their behalf. We explain and illustrate that research in formal and informal intervention...

With or Beyond Piaget? A Dialogue between New Probabilistic Models of Learning and the Theories of Jean Piaget
This article takes a closer look at their links th rough a systematic review of the literature. To do so, I selected, read, and compared articles and books about the probabilistic models of learning and the works of Jean Piaget dealing with similar questions. I will first present the theoretical evolutions offered by the probabilistic models of lear ning. Then, I will reexamine the words and works of Jean Piaget to show how he had in fact formulated and addressed similar questions at his time, from his point of view. I will finally discuss how we could question, today, Jean Piaget's works in regard to these new models, but...

Personal, Master, and Alternative Narratives: An Integrative Framework for Understanding Identity Development in Context
In this paper we propose a model for examining personal identity development that moves attention from a relatively exclusive examination of the individual to an examination of the intersection between self and society. We propose that a master narrative model of identity development allows researchers to: (a) align the study of culture and individual on the same metric of narrative, (b) investigate the processes of negotiating personal and cultural narratives, the latter of which are embedded within the structures of society, and (c) investigate the internalization of those structures in personal identities. In laying out...
