Study Notes
Social and Emotional Development in Adolescence
- This chapter outlines social and emotional development in adolescents, covering various topics including self-esteem, identity development, the role of parents, peers, and issues like juvenile delinquency, depression, and suicide.
Chapter Outline
- Self-Esteem and Development of Identity: Examines self-perception and the formation of an individual's identity.
- Parents: Discusses the role of parents in adolescent development concerning autonomy, control, attachment, and conflict.
- Peers: Explores the impact of peer relationships on adolescents' well-being.
- Juvenile Delinquency, Depression, Suicide: Addresses societal problems related to adolescents, encompassing risky behaviors, mental health challenges, and potential for self-harm.
Self-Esteem
- Adolescents' self-evaluation differs by gender, with girls' self-esteem typically declining in early adolescence due to negative body image changes during puberty. Conversely, boys' self-esteem often increases.
Identity
- Exploring Identity: Adolescents grapple with questions like "Who am I?", "What am I all about?", and "What is different about me?".
- Aspects of Identity: Identity encompasses vocational/career choices, political views, religious beliefs, relationships, achievements, intellectual pursuits, sexual orientation, cultural/ethnic background, interests, personality, and physical traits.
- Erikson's View: Erikson's concept of identity vs. identity confusion emphasizes the adolescent's striving to define their place in the world, guided by psychological moratorium.
Identity Formation
-
Marcia's Statuses: Identity formation is categorized into four statuses based on crisis and commitment, encompassing identity diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and achievement, according to Marcia (1980, 1984).
- Identity Diffusion: Lack of crisis or commitment, undecided about life choices
- Identity Foreclosure: Commitment without crisis, adherence to others' choices
- Identity Moratorium: Experiencing crisis, actively exploring options
- Identity Achievement: Experiencing both crisis and commitment, secure sense of self
-
Identity Stability: Identity isn't static; periods of moratorium and re-evaluation may occur throughout life.
Parents
- Autonomy vs. Control: Parents face the challenge of balancing adolescent autonomy and reasonable control.
- Attachment: A secure attachment with parents is linked to better peer relations and reduced risks of juvenile delinquency.
- Conflict: Parent-adolescent conflict increases during early adolescence, often stemming from everyday family activities. Developmental changes in both parents and adolescents contribute to tension.
- Understanding Conflict: Conflict may have a positive function, helping adolescents transition from dependence to autonomy.
Old and New Models
- Autonomy and Attachment: The older model viewed autonomy as detachment from parents, whereas the newer understanding emphasizes the integral role of parents as attachment figures.
- Parent-Peer Relations: The older model portrayed an isolated relationship between parents and peers. The new model emphasizes connection between parents and peers as important influences in adolescent development.
- Parent-Child Conflict: The older model depicts intense and stressful parent-child conflict, while the new model views this conflict as common and a possible aspect of healthy development.
