Identity & Adolescence<br />

• Trading Parents?<br />

• In the transition to adulthood,<br />

• Adolescents demonstrate more emotional autonomy from<br />

parents: they feel more independent and idealize them less.<br />

• Adolescents demonstrate less emotional autonomy from their<br />

peers and their resistance to peer pressure plummets from fifth to<br />

eighth grade.<br />

• In both industrial and hunter-gatherer societies, teen males join<br />

their peers in such dangerous behavior as getting in fights,<br />

irresponsible driving or--in hunter-gatherer societies--climbing<br />

trees too fast.<br />

• young men, for example, drive much more recklessly than<br />

otherwise when another young man is the passenger<br />

• young women do not seem to be influenced by young women<br />

passengers.
