current trends and research about adolescence  

Definition(s)

  • The scientific study of adolescent development has rapidly evolved in the past 100 years, since G. Stanley Hall's publication on adolescence in 1904. From the quest for applying general theoretical frameworks and much atheoretical work, through the development of adolescent research as a scientific discipline with remarkable growth in both breadth and depth of study, the current study of adolescence is moving toward a growing awareness by researchers of the importance of conducting research that has significant implications for policy development and practitioners who work with adolescents (Steinberg & Lerner, 2004).
