书籍简介

童年的气质是否预示着成人的性格?父母在孩子的成长过程中扮演着怎样的角色?日托对孩子是好是坏?青少年犯罪预示着犯罪的生活吗?基因会影响人生的成功吗?成年期的健康状况是否受到童年经历的影响?为了寻找这些和类似问题的答案，四位ding尖的心理学家在他们的职业生涯中研究了成千上万的人，观察他们长大后的表现。其结果是对是什么造就了我们每个人的前*未有的深刻认识。

在《你的起源》一书中，Jay Belsky、Avshalom Caspi、Terrie Moffitt和Richie Poulton分享了他们对童年、青春期和成年期、基因和养育、脆弱性、韧性和成功的了解。有证据表明，人类的发展并不受制于铁律，相反，它是一个由可能性和可能性构成的问题——多种力量共同决定了生活的方向。一个孩子的幼年期确实能预测他们日后会变成什么样的人，但他们的预测并不完美。例如，基因和问题家庭在男性暴力行为中都起着重要作用，尽管健康和遗传有时密切相关，但童年的不幸和青春期的严重欺凌甚至会影响到中年的身体健康。

艰苦和启示性的发现，《你的起源》承诺帮助学校，父母和所有人促进幸福，改善或预防发展问题。

Does temperament in childhood predict adult personality? What role do parents play in shaping how a child matures? Is day care bad—or good—for children? Does adolescent delinquency forecast a life of crime? Do genes influence success in life? Is health in adulthood shaped by childhood experiences? In search of answers to these and similar questions, four leading psychologists have spent their careers studying thousands of people, observing them as they’ve grown up and grown older. The result is unprecedented insight into what makes each of us who we are.

In The Origins of You, Jay Belsky, Avshalom Caspi, Terrie Moffitt, and Richie Poulton share what they have learned about childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, about genes and parenting, and about vulnerability, resilience, and success. The evidence shows that human development is not subject to ironclad laws but instead is a matter of possibilities and probabilities—multiple forces that together determine the direction a life will take. A child’s early years do predict who they will become later in life, but they do so imperfectly. For example, genes and troubled families both play a role in violent male behavior, and, though health and heredity sometimes go hand in hand, childhood adversity and severe bullying in adolescence can affect even physical well-being in midlife.

Painstaking and revelatory, the discoveries in The Origins of You promise to help schools, parents, and all people foster well-being and ameliorate or prevent developmental problems.
