子どもから大人へと変化する過程でさまざまな課題や機会に直面する思春期は、アイデンティティの形成にとって重要です。一方で混乱もきたしやすく、両親や教員など周囲にとっては心配の絶えない時期でもあります。従来の見識から今日のティーンエイジャーの経験に関する調査結果まで盛りこみ、生物学的変化から脳の発達まで、思春期について多面的に考察します。
Adolescence is a turbulent period to live through, and a time of importance and concern to parents, teachers, and social workers. Marking the transition from the world of childhood to adult life, the adolescent faces many challenges and opportunities, including forming their own identity, relating to often conflicting demands from parents and peers, and negotiating first romantic relationships.
In this Very Short Introduction, Peter K. Smith provides an engaging and informative overview of what we know and what we are learning about adolescence. Including both a guide to the classical research that has informed our knowledge, as well as the results of the modern research into the contemporary adolescent experience, Smith examines a number of aspects of adolescence, including the cultural and historical context, the biological changes to the adolescent brain, and the controversies that adolescence brings.
