Document Summary
Ability to solve logic problems that are divorced from reality. Most frequent and intense in early adolescence. As we get older, more comfortable with abstract thought and consequences diffuse. Self-consciousness: consider how other people view them, advanced form of theory of mind. Imaginary audience: constantly thinking you are under scrutiny, feels like people are constantly watching when other adolescents are worried about themselves at the same time. Personal fable: belief that experiences and emotions are unique. Early adolescence: think that other adults, especially parents have never experienced what they are going through. Being in love for the first time. Problems with decision-making: academics, love, etc. When going from high school to college. Why: we are the only ones with a fully functional language system, other species" languages not as complex, think differently. Humans as a species are very social: want to belong to social groups.
