本文简要回顾了第三世界开展的儿童发展研究类型，并将此类研究与国际机构和国家政府在第三世界开展的规划举措联系起来。有人建议，虽然已经进行了重大的研究，欧美范式的局限性，阻止了决策者将所获得的知识应用到第三世界的儿童发展计划。文章最后提出了几点建议：（a）应更加关注政策需求与学术研究兴趣之间缺乏协调的问题;（B）美国儿童发展培训计划应将全球应用作为研究生的相关研究领域;（c）应拓宽我们的范式，扩大传统跨文化研究的范围。
This article provides a brief review of the types of child development research that have been pursued in the Third World, and relates such research to programming initiatives undertaken in the Third World by international agencies and national governments. It is suggested that although significant research has been undertaken, Euro-American paradigmatic limitations have prevented policymakers from applying the knowledge gained to child development programs in the Third World. The article concludes with several suggestions:(a) that greater attention be paid to the lack of coordination between policy needs and academic research interests,(b) that American training programs in child development consider global applications as a relevant area of study for graduate students, and (c) that we broaden our paradigms and enlarge the scope of traditional cross-cultural research.
