6 What is Adolescence? Module 12: Adolescence

7 Adolescence The transition period from childhood to adulthood,
extended from puberty to independence. Starts with sexual maturation Has changed over the past century

8 Adolescence

9 Physical Development in Adolescence
Module 12: Adolescence

10 Puberty The period of sexual maturation during which a person becomes capable of reproducing. Starts at approximately age 11 in females and age 13 in males Major growth spurt

11 Physical Development

12 Primary Sex Characteristics
The reproductive organs ovaries in females testes in males external genitalia. Menarche – beginning of menstruation

13 Secondary Sex Characteristics
Nonreproductive sexual characteristics, such as breasts and hip development in females voice quality and facial hair in males.

14 Sexual Characteristics

15 Sexual Orientation Enduring sexual attraction toward
people of the other gender (heterosexuality), or one’s own gender (homosexuality). One’s attraction toward people of a particular gender Usually heterosexual or homosexual; small minority bisexual

16 Heterosexual A sexual orientation in which a person is attracted to members of the opposite sex “straight”

17 Homosexual A sexual orientation in which a person is attracted to members of the same sex Approximately 3-4% of the male population and 1-2% of the female population

18 Cognitive Development in Adolescence
Module 12: Adolescence

19 Cognitive Development in Adolescence: Reasoning
Module 12: Adolescence

20 Jean Piaget (pee-ah-ZHAY)
Pioneer in the study of developmental psychology who introduced a stage theory of cognitive development that led to a better understanding of children’s thought processes. Proposed a cognitive theory consisting of four stages

21 Formal Operational Stage
Piaget’s fourth and final stage of cognitive development The person can think logically, hypothetically, and in the abstract Qualitative change over the thinking of a child

22 Cognitive Development in Adolescence: Morality
Module 12: Adolescence

23 Lawrence Kohlberg (1927 – 1987) Created a three-stage theory of moral development.

24 Heinz Dilemma In Europe, a woman was near death from a very bad disease, a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging 10 times what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could get together only about $1000, which was half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said, “No, I discovered the drug and I’m going to make money from it.” Heinz got desperate and broke into the man’s store to steal the drug for his wife.

25 Preconventional Moral Reasoning
Characterized by the desire to avoid punishment or gain reward Typically children under the age of 9 “Heinz was wrong to steal the drug because he might be put in jail.” “Heinz was right to steal the drug because he would then have the companionship of his wife longer.”

26 Lawrence Kohlberg Moral Development

27 Conventional Moral Reasoning
Primary concern is to fit in and play the role of a good citizen and to follow the rules and laws. Typical of most adults “Heinz was wrong to steal the drug because stealing breaks the law.” “Heinz was right to steal the drug because most people would do what they must to protect a family member.”

28 Lawrence Kohlberg Moral Development

29 Postconventional Moral Reasoning
Characterized by references to universal ethical principles that represent the rights or obligations of all people Most adults do not reach this level. “Heinz was wrong because everyone must respect the property of others, even the property of a selfish and greedy druggist.” “Heinz was justified because everyone has a right to live, and he was simply trying to help his wife stay alive.”

30 Lawrence Kohlberg Moral Development

31 Evaluating Kohlberg Kohlberg’s participants were all white males
Individualism cultures Communal cultures Reasoning versus feelings

32 Social Development in Adolescence
Module 12: Adolescence

33 Erik Erikson (1902 – 1994) Created an 8-stage theory of social development. Each stage has its own psychosocial, developmental task.

43 Social Development in Adolescence: Developing Identity
Module 12: Adolescence

44 Identity One’s sense of self;
according to Erikson, an adolescence task is to solidify a sense of self by testing and integrating various roles. A strong, consistent sense of who and what a person is

45 Developing Identity Identity search includes the following characteristics: Experimentation Rebellion “Self”-ishness Optimism and energy

46 Social Development in Adolescence: Developing Intimacy
Module 12: Adolescence

47 Intimacy In Erikson’s theory, the ability to form close, loving, open relationships; a primary task in early adulthood. Not necessarily one’s spouse or a sexual relationship

48 Social Development in Adolescence: Independence From Family
Module 12: Adolescence

49 Independence In Western cultures begins in childhood
Primary attachment becomes one’s peers

50 Independence

51 Three Key Developmental Issues
Module 12: Adolescence

52 Continuity and Stages How much of behavior is continuous and how much follows a more stage like development?

53 Stability and Change Which developmental traits remain stable over time, and which change?

54 Nature and Nurture How much of our behavior is due to nature and how much is due to nurture? How do nature and nurture interact in development?

55 The End

56 Teacher Information Types of Files Animation
This presentation has been saved as a “basic” Powerpoint file. While this file format placed a few limitations on the presentation, it insured the file would be compatible with the many versions of Powerpoint teachers use. To add functionality to the presentation, teachers may want to save the file for their specific version of Powerpoint. Animation Once again, to insure compatibility with all versions of Powerpoint, none of the slides are animated. To increase student interest, it is suggested teachers animate the slides wherever possible. Adding slides to this presentation Teachers are encouraged to adapt this presentation to their personal teaching style. To help keep a sense of continuity, blank slides which can be copied and pasted to a specific location in the presentation follow this “Teacher Information” section.

57 Teacher Information Domain Coding Key Terms and Definitions in Red
Just as the textbook is organized around the APA National Standards, these Powerpoints are coded to those same standards. Included at the top of almost every slide is a small stripe, color coded to the APA National Standards. Scientific Inquiry Domain Biopsychology Domain Development and Learning Domain Social Context Domain Cognition Domain Individual Variation Domain Applications of Psychological Science Domain Key Terms and Definitions in Red To emphasize their importance, all key terms from the text and their definitions are printed in red. To maintain consistency, the definitions on the Powerpoint slides are identical to those in the textbook.

58 Teacher Information Hyperlink Slides - Immediately after the unit title slide, a page (usually slide #4 or #5) can be found listing all of the module’s subsections. While in slide show mode, clicking on any of these hyperlinks will take the user directly to the beginning of that subsection. This allows teachers quick access to each subsection. Continuity slides - Throughout this presentations there are slides, usually of graphics or tables, that build on one another. These are included for three purposes. By presenting information in small chunks, students will find it easier to process and remember the concepts. By continually changing slides, students will stay interested in the presentation. To facilitate class discussion and critical thinking. Students should be encouraged to think about “what might come next” in the series of slides. Please feel free to contact me at with any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc. regarding these presentations. Kent Korek Germantown High School Germantown, WI 53022
