Adolescents: why they can be so obnoxious.

J Newman

    Adolescence

    PubMed
    Summary

    Adolescent behavior, often seen as obnoxious, is developmentally inevitable due to uneven growth in cognitive, social, and moral areas. Understanding these adolescent incompetencies helps parents and educators manage challenging teen behaviors effectively.

    Main Methods:

    • The study analyzes adolescent behavior patterns.
    • It discusses developmental unevenness in cognitive, social cognition, moral judgment, and world knowledge.
    • Examples of resulting behaviors, including fads, are provided.

    Main Results:

    • Adolescent "obnoxious" behavior stems from uneven development in critical competency areas.
    • Incompetencies in cognitive, social cognition, moral judgment, and world knowledge contribute to exasperating behaviors.
    • Specific examples illustrate how these developmental lags manifest.
