As a major economic, relational, and identity resource,
communication is crucial to the well-being and success of young
people. And yet adolescents are typically characterized in the
media as inadequate communicators, whose language practices adults
bemoan as unintelligible and deleterious. In looking to critique
these pervasive stereotypes, the editors of Talking Adolescence
have brought together some of the world's leading experts on youth
and adolescence, whose interdisciplinary research demonstrates how
communication powerfully structures and meaningfully facilitates
the lives of young people. Adding to the growing literature on
intergenerational and lifespan communication, Talking Adolescence
is the first substantive volume devoted to young people.
Individuals of all ages interact with one another, and their
interactions have significance throughout their lives. This
distinctive volume acknowledges the importance of these
interactions and provides a life-span developmental view of
communication and aging, attempting to capture the many
similarities and changes that occur in people's lives as they age.
The authors move the study of intergenerational contact closer to
the actual participants, examining what happens within
intergenerational interactions and how people evaluate their
intergenerational experiences. The volume concentrates on the
micro-context of the intergenerational interaction and the
cognitions, language, and relationship behaviors related to
intergenerational communication across the life span.
The volume employs the perspective that the understanding of human
behavior across the life span is enhanced by studying communicative
behavior in intergenerational interaction. The authors integrate
research from multiple disciplines concerned with intergenerational
communication, which is framed by several unique theoretical
perspectives drawn from the communication discipline. As a resource
for the study of intergenerational communication across the life
span, this monograph offers important insights to scholars,
students, and all who are involved in intergenerational
communication.
