Study Notes
Erikson's Stages of Adulthood
- Adolescence is a psychosocial stage of crisis, with identity versus role confusion as the key crisis
- Adolescents navigate complexities to find their identity, sometimes integrating parent's ideals
- Identity achievement is the successful resolution of this stage
- Role confusion: Lack of commitment to goals and values, confusion about new values
- Foreclosure: Adopting parental values to avoid identity crisis stress
- Negative Identity: Complete rejection of traditional values
Identity Development in Adolescence
- Identity develops along religious, political, sexual, and vocational lines
- Adolescents are more likely to adopt parental religious beliefs or develop their own
- Political views often align with parental or peer opinions, influenced by current events
- Ethnic identity is shaped by social context
- Gender identity is influenced by culture and social factors, leading some to question gender identity
- Gender dysphoria is distress regarding one's gender, classified by DSM-5
Adolescent Relationships
- Adolescents are typically close with parents, despite popular belief
- Paternal monitoring is involved in keeping tabs on the whereabouts and activities
- Familism prioritizes family needs over individual aspirations
- High monitoring creates a family environment where individuals know the details of each family member's whereabouts and activities
- Peer power is involved in decision-making and influence, both constructive and destructive
- Peer pressure and selection of friends are important during this stage
Adolescent Sadness and Anger
- Depression trends increase from childhood to early adolescence, towards less confidence
- Self-esteem generally increases around age 15
- Peer interactions are a crucial social context at this stage
- Major Depressive Disorder involves deep sadness and disruptions to normal activities
- Parasuicide involves an unsuccessful suicide attempt, and complete suicide may be influenced by peer groups
- Externalizing and internalizing anger is a part of adolescent behavior
Adolescent Lawbreaking
- Teenage rebellion is common during adolescence
- Criminal activity (e.g., buying cigarettes, having intercourse) is higher in adolescence
- Brain immaturity in adolescents causes them to disregard long-term implications of actions
- Adolescent actions are often related to protecting family members or maintaining peer relationships.
Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Use
- Adolescents experiment with psychoactive drugs which is an activation of the brain
- Brain changes during adolescence, such as hormonal surges, brain's reward centers, and cognitive immaturity, make adolescents attracted to the sensations from psychoactive drugs.
- Psychoactive drugs excite the limbic system and interfere with the prefrontal cortex, producing emotional states.
- Teenagers are more likely to use drugs and alcohol (legally allowable to adults) at the age of 10 – 25, when addiction may develop due to early experimentation.
- Various drugs may have detrimental impacts on the brain, heart, lungs, and reproductive systems, harming adolescents more than adults due to cognitive immaturity.
- Health concerns and early experimentation with drugs (especially when starting before the age of 15) may lead to addiction and negative mental health consequences.
- E-cigarettes are popular amongst adolescents and may be used as gateway drugs.
- Legalization of marijuana, e-cigarettes, and vaping have raised concerns about the safety of these drugs.
- Stricter laws for purchasing products, enforcing the laws, and more responsible adolescent choices on the consumption of different legal products in the past decade have lowered the use-rates of particular products (i.e., cigarettes).
Harm from Drugs
- Drug use before maturity can predict later addiction
- Nicotine is highly addictive and harms the developing brain. Drugs can impair growth, digestion, and nutritional intake.
- Heavy drinking, or alcoholism, is the most frequent drug abuse in North America, causing negative consequences (memory decline, self-control issues) as it impairs the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in the brain.
