Questions:
Prompt#1
Consider the contrasting physical development between the genders at the beginning of adolescence. Then consider the timing of puberty onset in relation to early and late-maturing boys and girls. What psychological and social effects do differences in the timing of puberty have on boys, girls, and gender-nonconforming teens? Think also of the exponential growth made in the following years. What does this mean for social experiences for boys and girls in high schools that include 9th grade? (USLO 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8) (the best answer will also include: physical development in adolescence; psychosocial development in adolescence; Piaget’s adolescent egocentrism; perspective-taking; David Elkind: personal fable & imaginary audience; gender/gender identity; identity; self-concept & self-esteem; body image, eating disorders, muscle dysmorphia; risky behaviors; cognitive development in adolescence; sexuality & sexual behaviors)
Prompt#2
There are multiple factors that influence emotions and personality development in adolescence. Provide an overview of Erikson’s identity vs. role confusion and Marcia’s Four Identity Statuses. Is there an overlap or any contradicting information between the two theories? Explain your observations. Which of Marcia’s statuses were you in when you graduated high school? Why did you select that status?
