PHYSICAL CHANGES
(e.g., growth spurt and skeletal and structural changes) are rapid and visually apparent
Considerable diversity in physical developmental rates occur due to genetics, environmental factors, and health issues
Distinct gender differences are evident in size, strength, and age of growth spurt (e.g., girls around age 12 and boys around age 14)
Health risks increase due to behavioral issues such as eating disorders, sexual experimentation, and drug use
Psychosocial
Friendships form and social interactions increase, which have the potential for boosting self-esteem and reducing anxiety
Distinct gender differences occur in socialization patterns (e.g., females tend to have smaller numbers of close friends and males tend to have larger "social networks")
Allegiance and affiliation shifts from parents and teachers to friends and peers
Social tasks and situations are handled without adult supervision and advice
Self-esteem changes due to adolescents' home and school lives
Preoccupations with the self lead to critical self-examination and, subsequently to the formation of self-perceptions
Argumentative and aggressive behaviors become evident and often disturb parents and teachers.
COGNITIVE:
Higher levels of cognitive functioning (e.g., reasoning and higher-level thought processes) develop.
Moral and ethical choices are now possible and often guide behavior
Developmental diversity leads to varying abilities to think and reason
Cognitive ability is often affected by overall socialization
Perspectives about past, present, and future
develop that allow enhanced perspectives of time.
Language and overall verbalization skills increase, allowing improved communication in both school and home situations.
