WELCOME NOTE

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased and honored to host the Regional Workshop of the International Society for the
Study of Behavioral Development (ISSBD) on the theme “Investing in Sustainable Childhoods:
Implications for Preventive and Intervention Research” at Aconcagua University.

This year is very special for ISSBD because it is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. We would
like to congratulate all its members for promoting and giving impulse to scientific research into
human development throughout the lifespan.

This workshop is about children in the context of sustainable development. “Sustainability or

sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present, without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” This definition of
sustainability comes from the Brundtland Report in 1987, which set the standard for sustainable
development as we know it today. When we talk about ‘future generations’, we’re talking about
the children of today and in the future. The United Nations 2030 Agenda that includes the 17
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) integrates dimensions of poverty reduction, health,
education, sustainable agriculture and energy, climate change, gender equality and social
inclusion. Taken together, the goals offer a holistic approach to meeting children’s needs,
protecting them from harm and securing their environments. In this workshop we deliberate on
how as developmental scientists we can help provide all children with the tools, skills, and
services they need to survive, thrive and make the most of their lives, in the context of
challenges to sustainability.

Mendoza – Argentina ISSBD Regional WORKSHOP October 22 – 25, 2019 1

The workshop will provide a forum where early career researchers (ECRs) can meet and learn
about issues related to sustainable development, and how we can use developmental science
to support child, adolescent and adult development, supported by senior scholars with
outstanding publishing backgrounds in the field.

The Workshop will address studies on:

• Childhood poverty: Bridging evidence-based efforts between neuroscience and policies.

• Pathways to sustainability: Role of developmental science for sustainable child
development in low-and middle-income countries.
• Climate change and its implications for sustainable child development.
• Addressing sustainable human development in social science research.
• The role of peer relations in the framework of sustainable development.
• Psychological assessment with children: Validity, reliability and discriminative issues.
• Resilience and positive development: Implications for sustainable development
• Inequity, social inclusion and sustainable development in childhood.
• Meta-analysis: Its utility, steps, results, and conclusions. Feasibility and utopias.
• Publishing and reviewing in academic outlets.
• Ways to communicate research through press releases, media interviews, conference
presentations, manuscript submissions, and public policy.

Enjoy the conference!

International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development (ISSBD)

The ISSBD was formed on the 31st of May, 1969. The society seeks to promote scientific
research of human development throughout the life span. ISSBD is a truly international
organization with more than 1,100 members from 60 countries; the society welcome srese
archers from any scientific disciplines interested in human development. The Society is a
membership organization open to individuals who have completed their academic training, and
are involved in research focusing on human development. ISSBD has three publications:
International Journal of Behavioral Development (six issues per year); ISSBD Bulletin (two
issues per year); and the e-newsletter (monthly). The Society organizes conferences every
second year (the Biennial Meeting). The next conference ISSBD will be hosting the 26th ISSBD
Biennial Meeting of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development on June
21 – 25, 2020 on the Island of Rhodes, Greece.

This year is very special for ISSBD because it is celebrating its Fiftieth Anniversary. We would
like to congratulate all its members for promoting and giving impulse to scientific research into
human development throughout the lifespan.

ISSBD and Early Career Scholars

ISSBD feels committed to early career scholars for at least three reasons. First, we want to
promote the careers of starting scientists by equipping them with the best possible resources.
Second, ISSBD strongly believes it can benefit from the good ideas and energy of early career
scholars. Third, by focusing on early career scholars, ISSBD hopes it can promote the kind of
generational change that is necessary to keep our organization as vibrant and active as it is
today.

features and effects of school-age children’s and early adolescents’
experiences with their peers. The goal of his studies are (a) to
identify and measure individual differences in experiences with
peers and assess how these differences are affected by context,
and (b) to assess the effects that peer experience have on development and to identify the
cultural/contextual factors that account for variations in these effects. The specific purposes of
his current projects are (a) to be more explicit in assessing the effects of particular forms of peer
experiences via the use of more integrative/ systemic approaches to research; (b) to assess the
concepts of risk, protection, and resilience more directly; and (c) to identify the contextual
factors and forces that shape the effects of peer experiences at the level of the group and the
dyad. Dr Bukowski has expertise in the substantive and methodological domains related to
research on peer relations. These forms of expertise include socio metric methods, theory and
findings regarding the features and effects of friendship, measurement of friendship quality,
designs for assessing peer influence, longitudinal methods, multilevel modelling, and structural
equation modelling.
