Brian, age 15, has surprised and dismayed his Catholic parents
by insisting that he is converting to Buddhism. It all seemed to
start when he became friends with an Asian American boy at
school whose family is Buddhist. Explain Brian’s behavior
based on Seltzer’s theory of adolescent identity formation.
Many large scale interventions have been designed to reduce
problem behaviors in adolescence (such as drinking, drug use,
smoking, etc.) and/or to increase positive behaviors. Discuss
some of the typical characteristics of the least effective and the
most effective of these programs to date, based on available
research. Use examples where possible
