摘要
传统的心理学研究很少从发展角度系统地考察童年早期经历和个体生物性发展之间的关系。然而,以进化理论为基础的生命史理论的研究表明,个体的幼年环境会影响一系列生命史事件的出现和持续时间。其要义在于,为了最大限度地成功繁衍,个体会根据环境线索来做出关乎生存和繁衍的具有适应性的权衡。特别地,性成熟时间是生命史理论区别于其他人类发展理论的核心变量。未来的研究一方面需要深入挖掘人类社会规范在生命史权衡中的意义,另一方面还要继续探索实证研究的新方法。
Abstract： From the traditional psychological perspectives of human development, it was generally taken for granted that individual biological development was a fixed routine, rarely had experiences in childhood been taken into consideration systematically. However, life history theory, as a branch of evolutionary biology, focusing on how organisms allocate time, energy as well as resources to various activities over their life cycle, pointed out that childhood experiences could influence individual＇s somatic development and then reproductive strategy. Such an understanding implied an interaction, especially with a developmental perspective, between body and mind. Thus, the timing of sexual maturation （i.e., puberty） was a core variable distinguishing other theories of human development from life history theory. Key words： life history theory; evolution; trade-offs; sexual maturation; childhood experience
