Abstract

Adolescence, the second decade of life, bridges childhood and adulthood, but also represents a host of unique experiences that impact health and well-being. Lifespan theories often emphasize the continuity of individual characteristics and their contexts from childhood to adolescence, underscoring the distal influence of childhood experiences. Yet, adolescence is marked by transitions that may provoke discontinuities, particularly within individuals, their contexts, and their interactions within those contexts. These discontinuities occur at varied times, orders, and intensities for individual youth, suggesting that adolescence may be a developmental turning point where earlier life experiences may be mediated, reversed, or transformed by proximal events. This perspective piece emphasizes the importance of considering transitions, discontinuities, and developmental turning points in adolescence as well as their potential to explain heterogeneity in adolescent and adult outcomes. We explore one biological and one contextual transition in adolescence and highlight innovative theories and methods for investigating continuity and discontinuity dynamics across development, which could lead to new insights related to the adolescent period and its importance in shaping future life trajectories.

在发展时间轴中定位青春期。
青春期是人生的第二个十年,是连接童年和成年的桥梁,同时也代表着一系列影响健康和幸福的独特经历。寿命理论通常强调个体特征及其环境从童年到青春期的连续性,强调童年经历的远期影响。然而,青春期的过渡期可能会引发不连续性,特别是在个人、其环境以及他们在这些环境中的互动方面。这些不连续性会在不同的时间、顺序和强度下发生在青少年个体身上,这表明青春期可能是一个发展的转折点,在这个转折点上,早期的生活经历可能会被近端事件所调解、逆转或改变。这一观点强调了考虑青春期过渡、不连续性和发展转折点的重要性,以及它们解释青少年和成人结果异质性的潜力。我们探讨了青春期的一个生物过渡和一个环境过渡,并强调了调查整个发展过程中的连续性和不连续性动态的创新理论和方法,这些理论和方法可能会带来与青春期有关的新见解,以及青春期在塑造未来人生轨迹方面的重要性。

期刊介绍: Multidisciplinary and international in scope, the Journal of Research on Adolescence (JRA) significantly advances knowledge in the field of adolescent research. Employing a diverse array of methodologies, this compelling journal publishes original research and integrative reviews of the highest level of scholarship. Featured studies include both quantitative and qualitative methodologies applied to cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development and behavior. Articles pertinent to the variety of developmental patterns inherent throughout adolescence are featured, including cross-national and cross-cultural studies. Attention is given to normative patterns of behavior as well as individual differences rooted in personal or social and cultural factors.
