Physical Development in Adolescence
• Some of the most significant parts of pubertal development involve distinctive
physiological changes in an individual's height, weight, body composition, and
circulatory and respiratory systems.These changes are largely influenced by
hormonal activity.
• Puberty is the stage in life in which a child develops secondary sex characteristics
(such as a deeper voice in boys; and development of breasts, and more curved
and prominent hips in girls), as his or her hormonal balance shifts strongly
towards an adult state.
• Girls usually complete puberty by ages 15 to 17, and boys usually complete
puberty by ages 16 to 17.Girls attain reproductive maturity about four years after
the first physical changes of puberty appear.
• The first places to grow are the extremities (head, hands, and feet), followed by
the arms and legs, then the torso and shoulders.This non-uniform growth is one
reason why an adolescent body may seem out of proportion.
• Primary sex characteristics are those directly related to the sex organs, whereas
secondary sex characteristics include every change that is not directly related to
sexual reproduction.

Cognitive Development in Adolescence
• Jean Piaget describes adolescence as the stage of life in which the individual's
thoughts start taking more of an abstract form, and egocentric thoughts
decrease.This allows an individual to think and reason in a wider perspective.
• The constructivist view, based on the work of Piaget, takes a quantitative, state-theory
approach, hypothesizing that adolescents' cognitive improvement is
relatively sudden and drastic.
• The information-processing perspective derives from the study of artificial
intelligence and attempts to explain cognitive development in terms of the growth
of specific components of the thinking process.
• The final stage of Piaget's developmental theory is the formal operational stage.It
marks a movement from an ability to think and reason from concrete visible
events, to an ability to think hypothetically, and to entertain 'what-if' possibilities
about the world.
• Metacognition is relevant in social cognition, resulting in increased introspection,
self-consciousness, and intellectualization.Adolescents are more likely to question
others' assertions, and less likely to accept facts as absolute truths.

Socioemotional Development in Adolescence
• Adolescents must explore, test limits, become autonomous, and commit to an
identity, or sense of self.
• Early in adolescence, cognitive developments result in greater self-awareness;
greater awareness of others, and their thoughts and judgments; the ability to think
about abstract, future possibilities; and the ability to consider multiple possibilities
at once.
• Differentiation occurs as an adolescent recognizes the contextual influences on
his or her own behavior and the perceptions of others, and begins to qualify
personal traits.
• Unlike the conflicting aspects of self-concept, identity represents a coherent
sense of self stable across circumstances and inclusive of past experiences and
future goals.
• Self-esteem is one's thoughts and feelings about one's self-concept and identity.
• When an adolescent has advanced cognitive development and maturity, he or
she tends to resolve identity issues more so than peers who are less cognitively
developed.

Cultural and Societal Influences on Adolescent Development
• When children go through puberty, there is often a significant increase in parent-child
conflict, and a less cohesive familial bond.
• As children begin to gain bonds with various people, they start to form friendships,
which can be beneficial to development.Strong peer groups are especially
important during adolescence when parental supervision decreases and
interaction with peers increases.
• Culture is learned and socially shared and affects all aspects of an individual's
life.Social responsibilities, sexual expression, and belief system development are
all things that are likely to vary by culture.
• Peer groups offer members the opportunity to develop social skills but can also
have negative influences via peer pressure.
• Often, crowd identities may be the basis for stereotyping young people, such as
jocks or nerds.In large, multi-ethnic high schools, there are often ethnically-determined
crowds as well.
• Culture is learned and socially shared, and it affects all aspects of an individual's
life.Social responsibilities, sexual expression, and belief system development, for
instance, are all likely to vary based on culture.
