Adolescence
a period of the life course between the time puberty begins and the time adult status is approached, when young people are preparing to take on the roles and responsibilities of adulthood in their culture
In Ancient Greece...
adolescence was viewed as the third distinct stage of life during which the capacity for reason developed. A focus on the struggle between reason and passion in adolescence can be found in early Christianity
Life Cycle Service
began in about 1500 and was common in colonial New England but faded during the 18th and 19th centuries, when adolescents became regarded as social problems.
Between 1890-1920
child labor laws and new requirements for school attendance were enacted, and the field of adolescence scholarship developed.
Inventionist View
adolescence was invented during the early 20th century as a way of keeping young people excluded from useful and income-producing work, instead keeping them in educational institutions where they would be dependent on adults and learn to be passive and compliant to adult authority.
G. Stanley Hall

18-25
the age of identity exploration, of instability, of self-focused, of feeling in between, and of possibilities.
Scientific Method
hypotheses, sampling, procedure, and method. Hypotheses are the scholar's idea about one possible answer to the question of interest. A sample represents the population and should be representative and generalizable. Informed consent is an important procedure for the scientific method. In addition, scientists try to collect unbiased data and must assure participants of confidentiality
Reliability
obtaining similar results on different occasions
validity
the truthfulness of a method
ethnographic research
scholars spend a considerable amount of time among the people they wish to study, usually by living among them. The information gained typically comes from scholars' observations, experiences, and informal conversations with the people they are studying.
Research on Adolescence
includes measurement of biological functioning
experimental research method
groups of participants are randomly selected from a population and one or more groups receive a treatment (the experimental groups) while one group receives no treatment (the control group). Following the treatment of the experimental group(s), all groups are given a posttest, and any differences among the groups are attributed to the treatment(s). The experimental research method is commonly used in interventions.
Experience Sampling Method
involves beeping people at random times during the day, at which point they record a variety of characteristics of their experience at that moment.
Statistical Analyses
often determined by the hypotheses that generated the study, are usually conducted to examine relationships between different parts of the data. Once the data are analyzed they are interpreted and written up for peer-reviewed journals in light of relevant theories and pervious research. One of the key issues in interpreting research is the issue of correlation versus causation
Harvard Adolescent Project
they sent young scholars to do ethnographic research in several different cultures in various parts of the world
Bronfenbrenner's Ecological THeory of Human development
a reaction to what he viewed as an over emphasis in developmental psycholgy on the immediate environment (microsystem, meso, exo, macro,chrono
