This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescenceâ€"beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€"is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€"rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish.

Download or read book The Relation of Social Support to Psychological Adjustment Among Adolescents who Have an Abortion written by Alice Wester Burr-Harris and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although most women do not report serious psychological adjustment problems after having an abortion, adolescents are more likely than adults to report such problems. Because social support has been identified as an important predictor of psychological adjustment following abortion in longitudinal studies with adult women, this study examined whether social support plays a similar role in an exclusively adolescent sample. In addition, the moderating effect of adolescent age and willingness to involve a parent in the abortion decision on the relation of social support to psychological adjustment was examined. Sixty-two adolescent girls with parental consent to obtain an abortion completed measures of psychological adjustment (i.e., emotional distress, decision satisfaction) and measures of global and pregnancy-specific social support from family, friends, and the partner before the abortion (Time 1) and again 6 weeks after the abortion (Time 2). Prospective analyses, controlling for the effects of background variables and initial adjustment, revealed that global support from the family and the partner and pregnancy-specific support from the mother at Time 1 predicted lower distress at Time 2. In addition, pregnancy-specific support from the partner predicted greater decision satisfaction at Time 2. For both measures of psychological adjustment, an interaction emerged between global support from the family and global support from friends, suggesting a compensatory relation between these two sources of support. Although adolescent willingness to involve a parent was negatively related to family support, this variable was not related to psychological adjustment. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.

Download or read book Arenas of Comfort in Adolescence written by Jeylan T. Mortimer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a time when the social world expands, a time of increasing engagement beyond the family sphere to the school, the peer group, and the workplace. These contexts may present experiences that differ greatly in their tone and content, either contributing to or hindering satisfaction and a positive sense of self. This book examines how the constellation of stressors and rewards in various life domains influences adolescent adjustment. The theoretical framework is Simmons' "arena of comfort": a context for individuals to relax and to rejuvenate, so that potentially stressful changes and experiences in another arena can be endured or mastered. The concept of the arena of comfort highlights the adolescent's active role in the developmental process, as young people seek out and alternate between contexts that provide challenge and those that provide solace. By providing social support, a comfort arena strengthens the young person so that challenges in other life spheres can be dealt with. This book uses data from 1,000 adolescents to address key questions derived from the "arena of comfort" thesis: In which arenas of their lives do adolescents typically find comfort? Does the experience of comfort differ by gender, socioeconomic level, and other dimensions of social background? Do sources of comfort change as the adolescent moves through high school? Do adolescents typically find comfort in just one or two or in several arenas? Where are they most likely to experience this positive, comfortable state? Are adolescents who find comfort in a greater number of arenas better off, in terms of their mental health and achievement, than those who are comfortable in fewer contexts? Are some arenas more consequential for adolescent adjustment than others? Can an arena of comfort in one setting, in fact, buffer the effects of stressful experiences in another context? The results of this research indicate that making adolescents' contexts more supportive and comfortable will be reflected in improved mental health and achievement. This book will be of interest to all practitioners and researchers concerned with the mental health of adolescents.
