Document Summary
Early adolescence: 10-13 = junior high or middle school. Emerging adulthood (new period): 18-25 = transition from adolescence to adulthood; diverse pathways. *these ranges are concluded from us studies and western studies, not world-wide: historical changes. Length: length continues to change (puberty is occurring earlier these days and adult roles are taking longer to get too) Biology precedes cognition (observing development, maturity is happening earlier, brain development) Transition to adult roles (in the past youth used to be more involved with their parents work [farm/field-work]) Weaker family and community networks (due to mobility of people leaving neighborhoods, or parents not letting their kids outside as often, technology as opposed to social interactions, lack of family dinners) Social media and social networking sites: adolescent development framework. Fundamental changes of adolescences: biological transitions, cognitive transitions, social transitions. These changes occur across various contexts of adolescence. Therefore, the effects of the 3 changes are not uniformed: context: ecological perspective.
