Answer to Question 2

Grand theories are comprehensive, in that they explain, or attempt to explain completely, one or more
of the three domains of developmental psychology: biological, cognitive, and social. They are
enduring; this means that they stand the test of time. They can be applied across several
generations of people and still be relevant. Indeed, the only way to test developmental theories is to
see if they can withstand logic and critical thinking. They can be widely applied across differences in
race, gender, culture, and ethnicity.
