This topic will seek to identify the important ways on how people who are developing be similar to each other and how they differ as they grow up. Though there are typical ways on how a child develops, no two children have exactly the same kind of development. There are instances that children who are raised on the same home have very different values, abilities, skills, and behaviors. This issue to be discussed is about the typical or normal patterns of change (normative development) and on individual differences (idiographic development).
According to Bjorklund & Blasi (2011), normative approach is an approach in psychology that is mainly concerned with all features that all people have in common. The changes may be in physical characteristics, social characteristics, and/or cognitive characteristics. On the other hand, idiographic approach is an approach in psychology that is concerned with individual differences among people, as opposed to concern with features that have in common.
An article from scribd.com stated how normative differs from idiographic. Normative approach includes development that is shared by most of people. It refers to the similarities we have as a human beings and it is the general change that most children experience as they proceed through life. Whereas idiographic approach includes individual variations. It refers to the differences that every people have. This approach is focused on the aspects that make us unique from other people.
