Förlagets beskrivning
Adolescence is both universal and culturally constructed, resulting in diverse views about its defining characteristics. Across cultures, people experience a gradual physical transition from childhood status to adult status including changes in reproductive capacities, physical stature, body shape, strength, endurance, and the maturation of the brain. Theories of Adolescent Development brings together the many theories surrounding this life stage in one comprehensive reference. It begins with an introduction to the nature of theory in the field of adolescence including an analysis of why there are so many theories in this field. The theory chapters are grouped into three sections: biological systems, psychological systems, and societal systems. Each chapter considers a family of theories including scope, assumptions, and contributions to the study of adolescence, a discussion of strengths and weaknesses of this family, and some comparisons to other theories. A concluding chapter offers an integrated perspective for future directions in theory and research. Includes biological, psychological, and sociological theoriesIdentifies assumptions, strengths, and weaknesses of each theoryCompares and contrasts theoriesConcludes with an integrated perspective across theories
