Most knowledge about adolescent development is based on adolescents
living in the United States or Europe. ""The Thoughts of Youth""
reports a study in which over 6000 adolescents from 20 regions of
the world, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia,
described an ideal woman or ideal man. Adolescents' images of the
ideal person reflect their personal values about gender roles,
their expectations and plans for the future, and their cultural
values. ""The Thoughts of Youth"" presents the teenagers'
perspectives - their descriptions, drawings, and interpretations of
their peers' responses. Issues of importance to adolescent
development are addressed, including morality and altruism,
physical appearance and attractiveness, self and identity,
intelligence and schooling, work, fun and leisure, family
relationships, and romance. In contrast to the stereotype that
adolescents are preoccupied with appearance and popularity,
adolescents in this study endorsed kindness, honesty, helpfulness,
and a positive attitude toward children. This book documents both
the universal attitudes of adolescents and the ways that teenagers'
views differ by gender, culture, and economic condition.
