Two years ago, the title of my editorial (with thanks to Edmund Sonuga-Barke and Bob Dylan) was ‘The times they are a-changin’. This title was meant to highlight the paradigm shifts in the field reflected in the papers included in that year's Annual Research Review. This year's editorial is instead titled ‘The people, they are a-changin’. This is because, overwhelmingly, the papers in the 2024 Annual Research Review describe how people and systems change each other, how people change over developmental and historical time, and how environments characterized by change impact human development.

两年前，我的社论标题（感谢埃德蒙·索努加-巴克和鲍勃·迪伦）是“时代正在改变”。这个标题旨在强调当年年度研究评论中包含的论文所反映的该领域的范式转变。今年社论的标题是“人民，他们正在改变”。这是因为，2024 年年度研究评论中的论文绝大多数描述了人与系统如何相互变化、人如何随着发展和历史时间而变化，以及以变化为特征的环境如何影响人类发展。
