Frequently cited in scholarly books and journals and praised by
students, this book focuses on developmental changes and processes
in adolescence rather than on the details and problems of daily
life. Major developmental changes associated with adolescence are
identified. Noted for its exceptionally strong coverage of
cognitive, moral, and social development, this brief, inexpensive
book can be used independently or as a supplement to other texts on
adolescence. Highlights of the new edition include: expanded
coverage of thinking and reasoning. a new chapter on metacognition
and epistemic cognition. expanded coverage of controversies
concerning the foundations of morality. a new chapter on moral
principles and perspective taking. a new chapter on the relation of
personal and social identity. a new chapter addressing current
controversies concerning the rationality, maturity, and brains of
adolescents. more detail on key studies and methodologies and
boldfaced key terms and a glossary to highlight and clarify key
concepts. Rather than try to cover everything about adolescence at
an elementary level, this book presents and builds on the core
issues in the scholarly literature, thus encouraging deeper levels
of understanding. The book opens with an introduction to the
concepts of adolescence, rationality, and development and then
explores the three foundational literatures of adolescent
development - cognitive development, moral development, and
identity formation. The book concludes with a more general account
of rationality and development in adolescence and beyond.
Appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on
adolescence or adolescent development offered by departments of
psychology, educational psychology, or human development, this
brief text is also an ideal supplement for courses on social and/or
moral development, cognitive development, or lifespan development.
The book is also appreciated by scholars interested in connections
across standard topics and research programs. Prior knowledge of
psychology is not assumed.
