Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification03:00

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the recognition that people have...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are themselves.

Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Erik Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development, "identity versus role confusion," is crucial during adolescence (ages 12 to 18). In this stage, adolescents face the developmental task of forging a distinct personal identity, a process influenced by social, psychological, and biological changes typical of this period. Adolescents naturally explore different roles, behaviors, and ideologies as they navigate complex questions of self-concept, asking, "Who am I?" and "What is my place in...
Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture01:27

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...
Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth. This guiding role...

Summary

Adolescent academic success is linked to mother relationships and substance use. Mother relationship, academic achievement, and alcohol use significantly predict academic expectations in high school seniors.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Adolescent Development

Background:

  • Adolescent mother relationships impact academic outcomes.
  • Substance use strongly influences academic expectations and achievement.
  • Previous studies highlight the interconnectedness of these factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between mother relationship, substance use, and academic outcomes in high school seniors.
  • To identify key predictors of academic expectations and achievement.
  • To quantify the variance explained by these factors.

Main Methods:

  • Survey administered to 80 high school seniors from middle to upper socioeconomic status families.
  • Questionnaires assessed behavioral and psychological aspects of adolescent life.

  • Stepwise regression analysis used to determine predictor variables.

    • Main Results:

    • Academic expectations strongly correlated with academic achievement (r = .60).
    • Mother relationship, academic achievement, and alcohol use explained 56% of variance in academic expectations.
    • Cocaine use, marijuana use, and academic expectations explained 48% of variance in academic achievement.

    Conclusions:

    • Adolescent academic expectations are significantly influenced by their relationship with their mother, academic performance, and alcohol consumption.
    • Substance use (cocaine, marijuana) and academic expectations are key determinants of academic achievement.
    • Findings underscore the complex interplay between psychosocial factors and academic success in adolescents.
