11. 4. Adolescence Do you agree with these statements?
“Storm and stress” – G. Stanley Hall (1904)
“To be normal during the adolescent period is by itself abnormal.” – Anna Freud (1958)
“The teenage years can be a parent’s worst nightmare.” – Dr. Phil
How does our word cloud compare?

12. 5. Adolescence
This unit revolves around the period of your lifespan that falls between childhood and independent adulthood.
Our society defines adolescence as the period time that begins with puberty (physical maturation) and ends with social and financial independence (adulthood).
Is this time period full of psychological turmoil for MOST adolescents?
6. How do the quotes/word cloud reflect this myth?

13. 7. Sources of the Myth Stereotyped media portrayals Stereotype
Kernel of truth

14. What Do People Think?
“The majority of adolescents show neurotic or antisocial behavior sometime during adolescence.”
62% of medical residents agree
58% of nurses agree

15. The Facts At most 20% of adolescents experience turmoil
Less in non-Western societies
The substantial majority of people experience positive moods and harmonious relationships with parents and peers.
Those that experience severe conflict with parents tend to also exhibit one or both of the following:
Clear-cut psychological problems (depression/conduct disorder)
Disrupted family backgrounds

17. 8. Three Components of this Myth (Where does the “kernel” come from?)
Moody instability (physical)
Risky behavior (physical and social)
Conflict with parents (cognitive and social)

18. Risky Behavior/Emotional Changes and PHYSICAL Development
9. Puberty:
The beginning of adolescence.
Marked by the beginning of physical and reproductive maturation.

19. Primary and Secondary Sex Characteristics

Only one per sex:
Testes Mature – Males
Ovaries Mature – Females
Any trait that develops at the same time as primary traits develop. NOT required for reproduction
“Bonus” traits that develop asymetrically

21. 12. Physical Development and the Myth
Moody instability (secondary characteristics, amygdala)
Risky behavior (prefrontal cortex, amygdala)
Ask your parents/adults – is there some part of their identity today that was influenced by their overactive amygdala and underactive prefrontal cortex in adolescence?
Criticisms
Embarrassing situations
Mistakes

22. 13. Jean Piaget Developmental psychologist
Outlined the stages of COGNITIVE development

30. 18. Do you think formally or concretely most of the time? Explain.

31. Cognition and Myth 5
Perhaps as adolescents transition from concrete to formal thinking, parents/adults perceive the shift as “rebellion” or “unstable,” resulting in this myth.
In reality, changes in adolescent brains prime them to practice thinking more formally in order to become independently functioning adults.
Build a good foundation!

32. 19. Name some common issues teens face socially.
List anything and everything you can think of.

33. 20. Erik Erikson Developmental psychologist
Said that we go through eight stages of social development in our lifespan
Each stage involves an internal conflict that must be resolved
If we don’t resolve the conflict, we will fixate on it throughout our lifespan until it is resolved and it might affect later stages
Example: Stage 1: Trust vs. Mistrust

34. Erik Erikson Identity vs. Role Confusion
21. The primary social accomplishment for adolescents, according to Erikson is to develop an identity or live a life filled with role confusion.
a. Teenagers work at refining a sense of self and identity by testing roles and then integrating them to form a single identity.
If they don’t achieve this, they become confused about who they are (role confusion)
How have you demonstrated role testing in the past?
Relationships
Jobs/school
As a student
Names/nick names
Appearance

45. 24. Parenting Styles and Identity Formation
Increased conflict with parents is a common concern.
Is it as common as one would think?
80% of adolescents report that they enjoy time spent with their parents and that they “rarely” fight or argue
20% do report consistent conflict – here is our kernel.

46. 24. Perhaps the Conflict Relates to the Style of Parenting Used
Authoritarian
Authoritative
Strict
Totalitarian
Rule-focused
Structured
Control-oriented
Punishment
No questioning
- Foreclosure more often
- Conflict more often
Structured
Rules and consequences
Consistent
Warm, yet not a pushover
Discuss rules openly
Child has an influence – connects to the “why?” without being in control
-Moratorium and Identity Formation more often
Conflicts resolved

47. 24. Perhaps the Conflict Relates to the Style of Parenting Used
Permissive
Rejecting-Neglecting
Few rules
Inconsistent
Seeks child’s approval
Child in control
-Extended diffusion
Conflict arises when parent attempts to assert control
No interaction
No parenting
No emotional bond
No desire to connect

48. Evaluate
25. What types of parenting do your parents use most of the time? How has this affected your development? 26. How does the crisis (moratorium) perhaps relate to the increase in parental conflict? Overall, what do you know about yourself now?
