- A secular trend exists in physical development.
- Adolescent brain development is a key area of focus.
- Eating disorders, STIs, adolescent pregnancy, and parenthood are significant considerations.
- Piaget's formal operational stage involves hypothetical-deductive reasoning and propositional thought.
- Adolescent egocentrism, including imaginary audience and personal fable, is a consequence of formal operational thought.
- Information-processing and scientific reasoning are relevant cognitive aspects in adolescence.
- Factors related to school dropout and strategies for prevention are important considerations.
Chapter 12: Emotional and Social Development in Adolescence
- Erikson's identity vs. role confusion stage is central.
- Identity development involves exploration and commitment (identity achievement, moratorium, foreclosure, and diffusion).
- Changes in self-concept and self-esteem are part of adolescent development.
- Kohlberg's stages of moral development (preconventional, conventional, and postconventional) are significant.
- Parent-adolescent relationships influence moral development and other aspects.
- Peer relationships (cliques, crowds) are crucial to social development.
- Effects of social media on well-being (adolescent depression, suicide, delinquency) are important.
Chapter 13: Physical and Cognitive Development in Early Adulthood
- Biological aging (telomeres) and health and fitness (overweight/obesity, benefits of exercise, basal metabolic rate (BMR)) are key.
- Reproductive capacity and substance abuse are considered.
- Changes in cognitive structure and thought (prefrontal cognitive-control network, postformal thought, Perry's epistemic cognition, pragmatic thought, cognitive-affective complexity) are important.

- Health and fitness (gender differences, cancer, osteoporosis, hostility, adapting to physical challenges, problem-centered and emotion-centered coping) are important components.
- Mental abilities and information processing (crystalized vs fluid intelligence, working memory, inhibition and flexible shifting of attention) are discussed.
- Adult learners and growth in practical problem-solving are examined.
Chapter 16: Social and Emotional Development in Middle Adulthood
- Erikson's generativity vs. stagnation, Levinson's view, and midlife crisis are covered.
- Midlife is a time of self-concept and personality stability.
- Self-acceptance, autonomy, and environmental mastery are explored.
- Relationships at midlife. Feminization of poverty, kin-keepers, skipped generation families, and sandwich generations are discussed.
