Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Adolescent Psychology

Background:

  • Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by significant psycho-physiological changes.
  • Self-esteem regulation is particularly vulnerable during this period, especially for adolescents facing pre-existing conflicts or familial discord.

Observation:

  • Adults supporting adolescents must act as partners, not problem-solvers, accepting questioning and reconciliation.
  • Adolescents' developmental needs prompt adults to re-examine their own adolescence and generational dynamics.

Findings:

  • Helping adolescents requires restoring intrapsychic, intrafamilial, and intergenerational balance.
  • Sociocultural factors play a crucial role and must be respected in interventions.
  • Adult helpers often confront their own past adolescence, influenced by different generational conditions.

  • Understanding generational differences is key for effective support systems.
  • This research highlights the need for adult self-reflection in guiding adolescents through developmental challenges.
