Study Notes

Adolescence and Self-Development

  • Adolescence represents a critical transitional phase from childhood to adulthood.
  • Common identity-related questions include "Who am I?" and "What is my purpose in life?"
  • Changes in physical, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects lead to both excitement and anxiety.
  • This period is key for self-discovery and exploration of interests.
  • Adolescents must become attuned to various aspects of their identity during this phase.

Definitions by Renowned Psychologists

  • Carl Rogers: Emphasizes the journey towards being one's authentic self.
  • Abraham Maslow: Focuses on fulfilling one’s potential and achieving self-actualization.
  • Sigmund Freud: Highlights the dynamic between the id, ego, and superego in personal development.
  • Erik Erikson: Describes personal development through a series of stages with specific psychosocial conflicts.
  • Jean Piaget: Notes that development results from the reorganization of mental processes influenced by maturation and environment.
