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).

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...

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...

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...
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...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Value priorities are typically considered stable individual characteristics.
  • Limited research exists on the conditions that facilitate value-priority change.
  • Major life events, such as war, may significantly impact value development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether the experience of war influences the value priorities of early adolescents.
  • To examine changes in specific value types (anxiety-based, anxiety-free, achievement) during wartime.

Main Methods:

  • A small-scale, short-term longitudinal study design was employed.
  • Thirty-nine Israeli adolescents participated in the study.
  • The Schwartz Values Survey was administered on four occasions during the 2006 Israeli-Lebanese war.

Main Results:

  • Anxiety-based values (tradition, power, security) increased in importance.
  • Anxiety-free values (benevolence, universalism, self-direction, stimulation, hedonism) decreased in importance.
  • Conformity values decreased, while achievement values showed a decrease followed by an increase.

Conclusions:

  • Value development can occur rapidly in early adolescence under traumatic circumstances, such as war.
  • Major traumatic events can significantly shift individual value priorities.
  • Findings highlight the malleability of values during adolescence in response to extreme environmental conditions.
