SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS Flashcards
Social roles are the part people play as members of a social group. With each social role, the behavior
changes to fit the expectations both the person and others have of that role.
Social Relationships
when teens go through the puberty stage, incidents of parent-child
conflict m increase. Arguments may be in the issues of control, such as curfew, ways of dressing,
and the right to privacy
Parental Relationships
as adolescents work to form their identities, they pull away from their parents,
and the peer group becomes very important (Shanahan, McHale Osgood, & Crouter, 2007). The
impact of peers’ influence has a vital role in adolescents’ personal development.
Peer Relationships
there are certain characteristics of adolescent development
that are more rooted in culture than in human biology or cognitive structures. Culture is learned and
socially shared, and it affects all aspects of an individual’s life.
Community, Society, and Culture
According to Benjamin B. Wolman in his book entitled Adolescence: Biological and Psychosocial
Perspectives published in 1998, adolescence often claims that their groups do not have leaders, but
quite often their groups are referred to by the name of one of its members, who usually is the leader.
