Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

824
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.

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

4.7K
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

1.0K
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...

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

468
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...

Sources of Self-Esteem I: Family Experience

Self-esteem, a crucial component of psychological development, is significantly shaped by familial experiences. The early parent-child relationship serves as a foundational influence on a child's self-concept, with long-lasting effects extending into adolescence and adulthood.Parental Behaviors and Early Self-Esteem FormationEmpirical studies have identified four principal parental behaviors that foster healthy self-esteem in children. These include expressions of acceptance, affection, and...

Conduct Disorder

1.0K
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes.
  • Understanding the emergence and nature of behavioral problems during adolescence is crucial for early intervention and support.
  • Previous research suggests a potential increase in behavioral disturbances as children transition into adolescence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate parental perceptions of behavioral disturbance in adolescents compared to a younger normative group.
  • To examine the influence of age and gender on the manifestation of specific behavioral problems in adolescents.
  • To identify differences in behavioral disturbance scores between male and female adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-seven parents, primarily mothers, completed the Walker Checklist for their adolescent sons and daughters.
  • Data were collected at the time of the adolescents' initial clinic appointments.
  • Adolescent scores were compared to an elementary school-age normative group.

Main Results:

  • Parents rated adolescents as more disturbed than the normative group on scales for Immaturity, Acting Out, and Distractibility.
  • Behavioral problems increase in adolescence, with a more pronounced effect observed in younger females and males.
  • Male adolescents, both younger and older, scored significantly higher than females on the Distractibility scale, particularly in school-related contexts.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescence is associated with an increase in perceived behavioral disturbance, notably immaturity, acting out, and distractibility.
  • While neither age nor gender alone dictates disturbance levels, gender differences emerge in specific behaviors like distractibility.
  • Findings highlight the need for gender-sensitive approaches in addressing adolescent behavioral issues, especially distractibility.
