Biography

Manfred Diehl is professor of Human Development and Family Studies at Colorado State University.

Karen Hooker is the Jo Anne Leonard Petersen Chair in Gerontology and Family Studies, and Professor and Co-Director of the School of Social and Behavioral Health Sciences at Oregon State University.　

Martin J. Sliwinski is professor of Human Development and Family Studies and Director of the Center for Healthy Aging at Pennsylvania State University.

"With applications that range from childhood through aging, this book clearly answers the "so what" questions, while also demonstrating the state-of-the-art methodologies and analytical approaches for use with micro-longitudinal designs. I will certainly be using this book in my advanced courses on lifespan development and applied data analysis." – Michael Marsiske, University of Florida, USA

"This rare life-span treatment of intraindividual variability is a must-have resource for developmental psychologists. The volume contains it all from a historical perspective, to an in-depth theoretical understanding of intraindividual variability to state-of-the art methods." – Cynthia A. Berg, University of Utah, USA

"This is an invaluable book that pinpoints the relevance of intraindividual variability in all phases of the lifespan and establishes a nexus between variability and developmental change. It thereby paves the way for future research in this field." – Annette Brose, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

"The thoughtful chapters in this volume provide deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the concept of intraindividual variability than in any prior work." – Dan Mroczek, Northwestern University, USA

"This volume will be one of the first that focuses exclusively on the study of IV and development. ... The chapter writers are first rate. .... I would definitely recommend it to colleagues given the breadth of coverage and the importance of this topic in the field. .... I imagine that it would be used in a ... number of graduate courses in developmental psychology. ...This volume will fill an important gap in the field given the importance of the topic and the absence of similar volumes." – Thomas M. Hess, North Carolina State University, USA

"Inclusion of this book in a graduate level course on lifespan development would help students to understand the importance of within-person variability in physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. ...These are top scholars in the field. ... It is an important and timely contribution to the literature on lifespan development." – Kim Shifren, Towson University, USA

"The book would provide strong coverage on intra-individual variability in a broad range of behavioral domains. ... I would purchase it and recommend [it] to ... developmental psychologists." – K. Warner Schaie, University of Washington, USA
