註釋The present voume discusses the adaptive processes and the dynamic interplay between the pursuit of personal (developmental) goals and the (developmental) adjustment of these oals to constraints, losses, or alterations in action and developmental resources from a broad range of perspectives. The concept of the "adaptive self" discussed in this book is a unifying framework for considering the nature of identity and the development of the self throughout the life-span. As the theoretical and empirical studies here show, this concept of self and identity is unique in including both intentional, regulated self-development, and flexible responses to an unalterable environment within a single framework of self and identity. The self is both the prouducer and the product of development. Understanding human development necessitates a transdisciplinary approach, which is precisely what this book does. Various figures from fields such as social, personality, developmental, and cognitive psychology have contributed both theoretical and empirically based chapters on the adaptive self. The voume is diveded into four parts. The first section (Adaptation an plasticity: Perspectives on self-development and development of the self) comprises four chapters investigating self-development from a general perspective. The secon section (Action perspectives on development: Control of development and development of control) focuses on a crucial theme of action perspectives on development: control. The third section (Self-regulation and development: Adaptive processes) takes a closer look ath the processes that secure the interply of personal continuity and life-long adaption. According to Brandstädter (1998, in press), an action-theoretical approach to human development has to take into account that development always occurs in context.
