SUMMARY

In this session we will focus on psychosocial development in adolescence. We will explore a variety of identity development theories, particularly those of Erikson, Marcia, and Phinney. We will also discuss gender and peer relationships, as well as culturally and linguistically diverse adolescents in schools. We will begin with a quiz on the assigned reading and then discuss the material and engage in application activities.

APPLICATION

  1. During adolescence, which areas did you explore and undergo a moratorium?
  2. Which areas did you foreclose during adolescence?
  3. In adulthood, have you gone through a moratorium in areas that you previously foreclosed?
  4. What about your ethnic identity development?
