The Promise of Adolescence by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Health and Medicine Division,Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education,Board on Children, Youth, and Families,Committee on the Neurobiological and Socio-behavioral Science of Adolescent Development and Its Applications Pdf

Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.

Personality Development In Adolescence by Eva Skoe,Anna von der Lippe Pdf

Three main contexts are considered: cultural, family and life-span development. Of central importance to developmental psychologists, this collection will also be valuable to social workers, teachers, nurses and all those whose work involves young people.

The Self-system by Annerieke Oosterwegel,Louis Oppenheimer Pdf

This book presents a longitudinal study dealing with developmental changes within and between self-concepts and their relation to personal functioning. Within the psychological literature -- and the developmental literature in particular -- the interest in the ideas people hold about themselves and their relation with personal functioning is rapidly growing. This interest is reinforced by the emphasis on individuality in Western society. The self-system is now thought to consist of a collection of self-concepts in which a distinction is made between domain-specific self-concepts -- the real and ideal -- and context-related self-concepts -- the academic, the athletic and the social. It is also considered to be subjective rather than objective. This subjective self involves characteristics such as continuity and distinctiveness from others. These characteristics have been the primary focus of recent research. In existing literature on the development of the self-system, little is known about the structural characteristics -- that is, developmental changes in the interrelationships among domain-specific and context-related self-concepts, or between and within self-concepts. Similarly, little information is available about the relationships between individuals' real and ideal self concepts, their perceived concepts of others, and the actual ideas others have about the same individuals. This book integrates hitherto separate and different components or aspects of self-knowledge into one encompassing, multidimensional self-system.

Adolescent Development by Wim Meeus Pdf

This groundbreaking book provides students and researchers with a unique overview of the longitudinal study of the development of young people from the ages of 12 to 25. It offers a comprehensive introduction into the multiple theories on the development of the self, personal relationships and psychopathology in adolescence, alongside a non-statistical overview of the many longitudinal models used to study development. The book includes key topics such as the development of the self, adolescent identity and personality; the development of parent-adolescent relationships; friendships and the understanding of others; and the development of psychosocial problems such as anxiety, depression, delinquency, aggression, and substance use. Meeus highlights multiple findings showing how these processes are integrated and identifies eight fundamental patterns of adolescent development to help determine why most adolescents develop into mature and organized individuals towards the end of this life stage, whilst a substantial minority show an inability to mature. It is essential reading for graduate students and researchers in adolescent development and anyone seeking to use longitudinal research methodology in the social and behavioral sciences.

The Parent Effect by Joanne E. Carlson Pdf

Adolescence is a difficult developmental period for parents and teenagers alike, a phase that sends many parents searching for information or psychological help. The Parent Effect: How Parenting Style Affects Adolescent Behavior and Personality Development is unique among the many available books on parenting. It identifies parenting styles on the basis of parents' underlying issues, motivations, and behaviors and explores how these child-rearing practices affect the parent-teen relationship, adolescents' behavior, and their long-term personality development. The Parent Effect strives to respond to an unmet need in the field of parenting, adolescence, and psychological information. This book identifies five parenting styles in a creative and contemporary manner: - "My House, My Rules Parents" (Controlling), - "Cool Parents" (Permissive), - "Your Life Is My Life Parents" (Enmeshed), - "Not Now, I'm Busy Parents" (Neglectful), and - "Easygoing Parents" (Balanced). Events and circumstances in adults' lives can significantly affect their parenting ability and the quality of their relationship with their teenager. Parenting styles are usually a combination of three forces: the parents' own upbringing, what they have learned from outside sources, and their own personal needs and characteristics. Publsher's note.

Personality Development in Adolescence by Anna Louise von der Lippe Pdf

Challenge and conflict seem to be an integral part of adolescent life. Morality, gender, family contexts, and social change are examined in a cross-cultural study of personality development in adolesence. Norwegian findings challenge some American findings, but overall there are more transcultural similarities than differences for the internalization of personality structure. Personality Development in Adolescence will be of interest to clinical psychologists, sociologists and criminologists in examining ego, identity and adolescent development.

Narrative Development in Adolescence by Kate C. McLean,Monisha Pasupathi Pdf

Monisha Pasupathi and Kate C. McLean Where Have You Been, Where Are You Going? Narrative Identity in Adolescence How can we help youth move from childhood to adulthood in the most effective and positive way possible? This is a question that parents, educators, researchers, and policy makers engage with every day. In this book, we explore the potential power of the stories that youth construct as one route for such movement. Our emphasis is on how those stories serve to build a sense of identity for youth and how the kinds of stories youth tell are informed by their broader contexts – from parents and friends to nationalities and history. Identity development, and in part- ular narrative identity development, concerns the ways in which adolescents must integrate their past and present and articulate and anticipate their futures (Erikson, 1968). Viewed in this way, identity development is not only unique to adol- cence (and emergent adulthood), but also intimately linked to childhood and to adulthood. The title for this chapter, borrowed from the Joyce Carol Oates story, highlights the precarious position of adolescence in relation to the construction of identity. In this story, the protagonist, poised between childhood and adulthood, navigates a series of encounters with relatively little awareness of either her childhood past or her potential adult futures. Her choices are risky and her future, at the end, looks dark.
