Document Summary
Psy 101- lecture 11/ development: adolescence and adulthood. Early views on development: traits are established and set in childhood. Current views on development: human development is a lifelong process. Infancy and childhood are in some ways formative. Each of us continues to development not only through infancy and childhood but through adolescence and adulthood. Historical changes in conceptualization: how societies conceptualize adolescence has varied with changing economic and political conditions, world wars i and ii. Young people were needed for factory work or military service. Young people were seen as competent and capable and adolescence was seen to end at around 16: 1890s and 1930s. Work was harder to find, adolescence ended later. Rites of initiation to adolescence: african thongas. When boys reach puberty, boys are beaten with clubs, stripped and shaven, exposed to cold weather, forced to eat unsavory foods, circumcised and secluded from others for 3 months: native americans.
