TEST NEXT CLASS!!! Piaget Erikson Kohlberg

Kohlberg Name and describe the three stages. Hand in homework.

Adolescence

What is it?

Define Adolescence Adolescence: the period of

development between childhood and adulthood.

From about 11-19.

Transition from Childhood Rites of Passage: a socially recognized

and ritualized change to status, such as the passage to adulthood.

Ex. Graduation, baptisms, bar mitzvahs, weddings, etc.

Share an example of a rite of passage you have been through with a neighbor.

Satere-Mawe Tribe: Amazon Young men

required to put their hands into mittens filled with hundreds of bullet ants.

The bite is approximately 20 more painful that being stung by a wasp.

Piaget’s Formal Operations Stage

Allows you to think abstractly about the future.

Can think about what might be, what could be, if certain things took place.

High level of reasoning ability helps adolescents consider how the world could be a better place.

Identity One of the hardest issues to deal with

is trying to find an identity.

Conformity and Group Identity

Adolescents often create small “exclusive” groups which are used as a form of self-protection.

When they identify with a particular group they take on its dress code, use its slang, and engage in its “approved” activities.

Creates a sense of belonging.

Crowds: large groups with loose rules and changeable memberships.

Cliques: a very tightly knit group with limited membership and strict rules of behavior.

Gangs: a rebellious, antisocial group with strict rules.

With a partner discuss and write down the following:› Examples of crowds and cliques at Castle

› Benefits of being a part of a crowd or clique

› Negative effects of being a part of a crowd or clique.

Identity Crisis: Erik Erikson Saw support from social

groups as necessary for exploring identity.

Group identity versus Alienation.

Developing a sense of yourself as an individual means achieving identity and never reaching this goal results in identity confusion.

Individual Identity and James Marcia

Divided Erikson’s identity crisis into four states.

States not stages so you do not progress from one to the next and you may not go through all of them.

› Identity Foreclosure› Identity Diffusion› Moratorium› Identity Achievement

Identity Foreclosure When an adolescent accepts the

identity and values he or she was given in childhood.

They have not experimented with possibilities.

Their self-concept defined by other people.

Identity Diffusion

Adolescents who don’t have a clear idea of their identity and are not trying to find one.

Moratorium Adolescents who

are trying to achieve an identity through experimentation and trial and error.

Identity Achievement Adolescents who have gone through

the identity crisis and come out with a well-defined self-concept.

Their identities may be expanded and further defined but the basics are there.
