Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood Developmental Stage
The central concept here is the effects of the adolescence stage
on individuals and society. After the childhood developmental
stage, the next phase is adolescence, which marks the beginning
of adulthood. The adolescence stage consists of changes both
mentally, socially, physiological and intellectual. According to
Erickson’s theory anchoring the study, individuals in this stage
experience role confusion versus identity issues. Thorough
guidance and counseling are needed to prevent the adverse
effects of this stage. For instance, in the Beautiful boy movie
Timothée Chalamet the main character might be under drugs due
to a lack of counseling in adolescence.
Hochberg, Z. E., & Konner, M. (2020). Emerging adulthood, a
pre-adult life-history stage. Frontiers in endocrinology, 10, 918.
According to Hochberg and Konner's article, the age of child
advancement appears underestimated. Theories of human
development should add a 4 to 6-years period
before adulthood era of "late adolescence." The adolescent
stage is a moment of cognitive development, discovering
empathy and togetherness, deepening pre-existing relationships,
parents socializing, and mastering the interpersonal skills
required for marriage and procreation. Starting to emerge
adulthood is a stage in life that lays the groundwork for humans'
significant reproduction. Hochberg and Konner (2020) present
information anchoring that adolescents require protection as
they study and develop and a means of strengthening and
physiological markers.

being and romantic relationships: A systematic review in
adolescence and emerging adulthood. International journal of
environmental research and public health, 16(13), 2415.
Interpersonal relations are significant in growth from
adolescence to emerging adulthood, but they cause good and

bad results. Nevertheless, from the limited studies performed
just before maturity, including relationship variables during
adolescence and substantial uncertainty of one's welfare,
making inferences about both phenomena. Gómez-Lopez and
Ortega-Ruiz's (2019) findings highlight the need for having a
more precise definition of happiness and placing a higher
weight on the relevance of interpersonal relationships. To
enhance the well-being of young adults, more scientific,
institutional, and societal efforts need directions at pers onal
development, primarily in stages leading to late adulthood.

K. (2017). Identity statuses throughout adolescence and
emerging adulthood: A large-scale study into gender, age, and
contextual differences. Psychologica Belgica, 57(1), 32.
Throughout adolescence and early adulthood stage, identity
development is a crucial task. However, it is unknown how
identity creation varies by gender, age, and the situation in such
developmental processes. Verschueren et al. (2017) reveal that
men are often in default and easygoing dissemination situations,
whereas women are disproportionately affected in the
suspension state characterized by high discovery. However,
both men and women have low exploration features. However,
persons at foreclosure status are in high identification
commitments. Persons with the lowest responsive dissemination
states, such as easygoing and troubled dissemination, are the
youngest. Various diffusion or dissemination statuses contribute
to identifying oneself in the adolescence stage.
Lindell, A. K., & Campione-Barr, N. (2017). Continuity and
change in the family system across the transition from
adolescence to emerging adulthood. Marriage & Family
Review, 53(4), 388-416.
Throughout the social circles of children and teenagers, siblings
and parents are central actors. However, early adulthood
impacts socialization, with friends and close partners becoming
more significant. According to Lindell and Campione-Barr
(2017). Adolescents' social networks change towards

acquaintances and intimate partners as they enter emerging
adulthood, but parents and family remain vital sources of help.
Parental contact reduces, but the importance of family relations
tends to increase or at least steady during this period. For
instance, the beautiful boy movie shows the actor seems to have
a distant relationship with the family due to the effects of
adolescence.
Riquelme, M., Garcia, O. F., & Serra, E. (2018). Psychosocial
maladjustment in adolescence: Parental socialization, self-
esteem, and substance use. Anales de Psicología, 34(3), 536.
The article looks at adolescent sensitivity regarding self-esteem,
drug use, and parental involvement as a risk or protective
factor. Riquelme et al. (2018) reveal that the adolescent cycle
and sexual identity are known to interact. Late-adolescent males
were more likely to use cannabis and synthesized substances.
Late adolescence females had the lowest empathy and self,
whereas late adolescent males had the lowest interpersonal self-
esteem. The parenting style also does not affect the adolescent's
gender or stage of adolescence. The indulging parenting style
links to equivalent or even higher security against behavioral
maladaptive behavior needs of adolescents than the
authoritative style. Still, the bossy and careless parenting styles
were risk factors.

J., & Paul, M. J. (2017). Adolescence and reward: making sense
of neural and behavioral changes amid the chaos. Journal of
Neuroscience, 37(45), 10855-10866.
Adolescence is a period of tremendous physiological and
behavioral change and significant interpersonal, psychological,
and mental skills growth. According to Paul et al. (2017) article
, adolescence is a time that may be both exhilarating and
chaotic. The adolescent stage involves greater risk-taking and
exploration. For instance, young adults like the leading actor in
the beautiful boy movie take drugs probably not for satisfying a
need but the exploration effects of adolescences. Most of these
modifications emerge from increasing satisfaction and a lack of

inhibitory control, resulting in reward hypersensitivity.
Adjustments in adolescents can change the brain's
developmental pattern, leading to long-term changes in reward-
related behaviors.

Developmental Stage
In this write up the developmental stage is the Adolescence and
Emerging Adulthood stage. After an individual has gone
through the childhood stage, the next phase is the adolescence
stage. Adolescence is the time when an individual transforms
from child to adult. Children entering adolescence go through a
lot of changes physically, intellectually, and socially. There are
three stages of adolescent development. The first stage is the
early adolescence between the ages of 10 to 14 years (Allen &
Waterman, 2019). Children go through the first phases of
puberty, during which both sexes endure substantial physical
growth and an increase in sexual desire. Teenagers in this
development period have a low aptitude for intellectual
cognition, but their cognitive interests grow insignificantly.
Though early adolescent adolescents have little concern for the
future, children acquire greater morality throughout this era.
The second stage of adolescence is the middle youth for
individuals within the age bracket of 15 to 17. Puberty is
accomplished for both boys and girls in the mid-adolescence
era. Girls' physiological growth slows, whereas boys' growth
continues. This era of adolescence displays a continued increase
in the availability of analytical thinking. Adolescents at this age
start to create long-term objectives by becoming engaged in
personal philosophy and rational thought (Allen & Waterman,
2019). Adolescents go through a range of social and
psychological development throughout this change phase,
including developing self and a desire for freedom. Last is the
late adolescence stage of the age bracket between 18 to 24
years. Individuals show minor physical changes, but the

cognition dynamics are rampant. Young individuals experience
increasing emotional maturity and autonomy throughout this
final phase of teenage development.
Erikson's Psychological Theory
Erik Erikson was an egocentric psychiatrist who established the
most popular and influential theorist. The write up will employ
Erickson's psychological theory to amplify the proposed
developmental stage involving eight steps for analysis. Mainly
the first four stages explain the development of a person at the
childhood stage; however, the fourth and fifth incorporate the
adolescents (Maree, 2021). The very first phase of
psychotherapist Erik Erikson's contribution to psychology
involves mistrust versus trust. The stage develops upon the birth
of a child until one turn eighteen months. In the write-up
assessment of the developmental stage, analyzing personality
starts from this stage.
Stage two involves doubt, shame, versus autonomy. The stage
targets children between 2 and 3 years. The phase is when kids
have self-control of their abilities, making them independent.
The third stage is Guilt vs. Purpose with students between the
age of 4 and 5. Certain chores should be permitted to be
completed successfully by kids out of their own. They must
experiment with their own and discover their unique strengths.
Fourth is inferiority versus industry for children between 5 to
12 years. Children become even more capable and efficient at
doing more complex tasks.
Role confusion versus identity is the fifth involving
adolescents with an age of 13 to 19 years. Throughout Stage 5,
it informs the write up developmental phase on the importance
of guidance and counselling. Adolescents are in dire need of
counselling to be self-dependent. Students must be allowed to
engage in various activities involving strict supervision (Maree,
2021). The six-stage is the isolation versus intimation involving
emerging adulthood of the age of 20 to 40 years. Emerging

adolescents have the zeal of developing, sustain, and enhance
good relationships with other crucial persons trusted throughout
this phase. Patients must form bonds with others that enable
them to admit their weaknesses. Seventh is stagnation versus
generality for adults aged 40 to 65, and finally is despai r and
ego for those above 65 years. Erickson theory will enable one to
evaluate and discover the client's habits in different stages,
especially the effects of adolescence.
Beautiful Boy (2018) – R Movie
The write up will involve analyzing the beautiful boy movie.
Beautiful Boy is a gripping drama that follows the life of a
drug-dependent boy (Timothée Chalamet) who is obsessed with
crystal meth. He is seen mixing narcotics with both a teaspoon
and lighter, sticking needles, snatching and abusing drugs,
driving while intoxicated, and participating in meetings. The
influence of drugs could be due to peer influence. The boy
looks agitated, and drug addiction is affecting his relations with
family and friends.
