- 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).

- 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.
