In this compelling book, Heidi Keller utilizes ethnographic reports, as well as quantitative and qualitative analyses, to illustrate how humans resolve universal developmental tasks in particular sociodemographic contexts. These contexts are represented in cultural models, with three distinct models addressed throughout the text: the model of independence with autonomy as developmental organizer; the model of interdependence with relatedness as the developmental organizer; and the model of autonomous relatedness representing particular mixtures of autonomy and relatedness. The book offers an empirical examination of the first integrative developmental task during the early months of life--relationship formation. Keller shows that early parenting experiences shape the basic foundation of the self within particular models of parenting that are influenced by culturally informed socialization goals. With distinct patterns of results that the studies have revealed, \u003ci\u003eCultures of Infancy\u003c\/i\u003e helps redefine developmental psychology as part of a culturally informed science based on evolutionary groundwork. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScholars interested in a broad perspective on human development and culture will benefit from this pioneering volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeidi Keller\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Psychology and former Head of the Culture and Development Department, Faculty of Human Sciences, at Osnabrueck University, Germany.
