about the author:

John Santrock received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1973. He taught  at the University of Charleston and the University of Georgia before joining the program in Psychology at the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at the University  of Texas at Dallas, where he currently teaches a number  of undergraduate courses and has received the University’s  Effective Teaching Award.  John has been a member of the editorial boards of  Child Development and Developmental Psychology. His  research on father custody is widely cited and used in expert  witness testimony to promote flexibility and alternative considerations in custody disputes. He also has conducted  research on children’s self-control. John has authored these  exceptional McGraw-Hill texts: Psychology (7th edition),  Children (14th edition), Child Development (14th edition),  Adolescence (17th edition), Life-Span Development (17th edition), and Educational Psychology (6th edition).  For many years, John was involved in tennis as a player,  teaching professional, and coach of professional tennis  players. As an undergraduate, he was a member of the University of Miami (FL) tennis team that still holds the record  for most consecutive wins (137) in any NCAA Division I sport. John has been married  for four decades to his wife, Mary Jo, who created and directed the first middle school  program for children with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders in the Clarke  County Schools in Athens, Georgia, when she was a professor at the University of  Georgia. More recently, Mary Jo has worked as a Realtor. He has two daughters—Tracy  and Jennifer—both of whom are Realtors after long careers in technology marketing and  medical sales, respectively. In 2016, Jennifer became only the fifth female to have been  inducted into the SMU Sports Hall of Fame. He has one granddaughter, Jordan, age 25,  who completed her master’s degree from the Cox School of Business at SMU and currently works for Ernst & Young, and two grandsons—the Belluci brothers: Alex, age 14,  and Luke, age 13. In the last decade, John also has spent time painting expressionist art.
