For undergraduate courses in Adolescence and Adolescent Development

 

Focused on a global cultural perspective that incorporates research on adolescence through emerging adulthood

 

Grounded in a global cultural perspective (within and outside of the US), this text includes a considerable amount of anthropology, sociology, and international research in addition to the compelling psychological research on adolescent development. This book also takes into account the period of emerging adulthood (ages 18-25), an area sometimes neglected but of particular interest to many students who see themselves reflected in the research.

Q: Would you like a book that takes into consideration varying cultures? How diverse is the makeup of your class?

A: Adolscence and Emerging Adulthood employs a cultural approach that informs students about what life is like for young people in cultures different than their own, thus broadening their understanding of the diversity of human development. This text strives have students not only think critically but to learn to think culturally about the studies they examine.

 

Q: How do you think your students would benefit from a global approach to the subject matter?

With an emphasis on adolescence and emerging adulthood from varying cultures and a focused global view, students are encouraged to think outside of their own experiences. This also encourages critical thinking as students explore the similarities and differences of world around us.

 

Q: Would your students be interested in seeing how their own age group is reflected in the information?

Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood encompasses the age ranges of 18-25. Arnett includes more coverage on this time period than any other adolescence text. Not only is this particular topic area of particular interest to students, who see themselves reflected in the research, but it is also a growing area of research.
