Paper Summary:

The paper explores the theories of Grob, Krings and Bangerter regarding human development in terms of an interaction between biological, sociohistorical, and social factors, as well as individual developmental tasks. The paper explains that these men also view the overall purpose of development as the person constructing his or her own biography by formulating personal projects and goals. Along with physical, cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial aspects of development, growth and development consist of developmental tasks and, even though they are interrelated, one task must be successfully mastered before the next can be begun. The same is true for the key aspects of development because barriers to development can interfere with growth and adaptation in later stages of the life span.
