兒童發展研究中心成立於一九九一年九月，以關心兒童、青少年、家庭及學校為己任。我們強調對華人社會中兒童社化過程瞭解以及對亞太地區兒童發展作深入比較研究的重要性，並致力培育及促進兒童的正面、積極發展，如增進兒童的成就動機、創意解難能力及自我效能感等；而為教育工作者、家長及兒童舉辦跨學科的研究與訓練課程亦為中心的特色。我們相信匯集心理學、教育學、社會學、社會工作、傳理學、藝術、音樂及其他學科學者的知識力量，可以為兒童的幸福及社會的進步尋找新的方向。
The Center for Child Development (CCD) was established in September of 1991 with the concern for children, youth, families, and school. One of our major emphases is on the und
erstanding of socialization of children in Chinese societies as well as cross-cultural studies of child development in the Asian-Pacific regions. A main objective of the Center is to foster children's positive development (e.g., enhancing their achievement motivation, creativity in problem-solving and self-competence). We believe that the common interest in children's well-being among various disciplines will enable the integration of strengths from areas of psychology, education, sociology, social work, communications, art, music and others in finding innovative approaches for the betterment of children and of the society in the long run.
