We think we know a good deal about human development, based on our current research and measurement about people. There's an assumption that we measure "individuals" - a given person's standardized test scores, grades, sleep habits - but in reality, most of our research obscures the very individuality of a person. In this episode, Richard Lerner offers us a more holistic understanding how to better center the individual in research.
