Document Summary

Chapter 11: physical and cognitive development in adolescence. Adolescents now face dramatic biological changes, new experiences, and new developmental tasks. Relationships with parents take a different form, moments with peers become more intimate, and dating occurs for the first time, as do sexual exploration and possibly intercourse. The adolescent"s thoughts are more abstract and idealistic. Biological changes trigger a heightened interest in body image. Hall: proposed the storm-and-stress view that adolescence is a turbulent time charged with conflict and mood swings. Public attitudes about adolescence emerge from a combination of personal experience and media portrayals, neither of which produces an objective picture of how normal adolescents actually develop. Adults may portray today"s teens as more troubled, less respectful, more self-centred, more assertive, and more adventurous. An adolescents" enthusiasm for trying new identities and enjoying moderate amounts of outrageous behaviour does not equate hostility toward parental and social standards.
