Editor's Notes
- Cultural vs biological? mass media rarely presented adolescents as being anything butstormy which created a skewed view of child development. As Bandura wrote, “I have often been struck by the fact that most parents, who are experiencing positive and rewarding relationships with their pre-adolescent children are, nevertheless, waiting apprehensively and bracing themselves for the stormy adolescent period. Such vigilance can very easily create a small turbulence at least. When the prophesied storm fails to materialize, many parents begin to entertain doubts about the normality of their youngster’s social development.”
- 1904 landmark study called “Adolescence” where Hall studied adolescent boys, from this he outlined the characteristics of adolescence – focusing on emotional development he felt they often showed contradictory behaviour and described the period as one of storm and stress or marked by mood swings wanting to be with friends, or wanting to be alone; being mean or being really empathetic; being apathetic or enthusiastic He felt these distinct characteristics of adolescence were biological and possibly universal, but that culture would play a role as well – he also acknowledged that most homes, schools and religious organizations failed to understand how stressful this period is He felt that ultimately these changes help to sort the personality and working through the storm and stress leads to stability, character and maturity
- The most prominent feature is egocentrism (heightened self awareness and self consciousness – think everyone is watching and scrutinizing them) the primary feature is the immaturity of the thinking process and underdeveloped reasoning abilities Indecisiveness due to an exaggerated self consciousness teens can be both idealistic and critical have a tendency to feel invincible or invulnerable – which can lead to risky behaviours
- Darlene – Roseanne – teenagers are misunderstood – self conscious
