Abstract
Although the path of Kagan's career led him inexorably toward biology, in the few years between his first benchmark publication on infancy and his later focus on temperament, he turned to other cultures in order to evaluate emerging insights about early development, namely, that major developmental transitions in behavior are maturational products. These forays contributed profoundly to our current understanding of culture and human development and inspired several of his students to focus their own careers on human development in culture, or, turned around, what we might call the developmental context of culture. Drawing largely on Kagan's own writings, this essay attempts to understand what the cross-cultural work meant to him and its lasting influence on his students.

期刊介绍：
Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
