Introduction
CNS development is addressed in dedicated article.
Physical Development
Females experience early adolescence as most stressful due to physical changes, while males will find late adolescence more taxing, if they do not develop hight/muscle mass commensurable with peers.
Social development
Teens prefer unisex peer group during early adolescence (10-13yo) and begin to develop heterosexual peer groups in mid- and individual relationships in late-adolescence. At 10-13yo, teens begin to experience an emotional break from parents and prefer friends to family. During med-adolescence, however, there is ambivalence about separation/distancing from the family.
Cognitive and Moral Development
- Development of abstract and formal operational thinking during mid-adolescence
- development of hypothetical-deductive, propositional thinking.
- Physical and sexual maturity precede cognitive and emotional maturity.
