To fill this research gap, this study used social learning theory and a grounded theory approach to explore the identity development and self-growth of 12 adolescents from families in China with family travel experiences. Taking a child-centered and participatory approach, the adolescents and their parents (one per family) were interviewed. The data indicated that the away-from-home of family travel could lead adolescents to undergo internalization-based learning as a stress response; such learning could increase adolescents' self-differentiation by improving their self-efficacy and enable behavioral growth and achievement. This study developed a new theory for social learning, that is environment–cognition–stress response–behavior, and the mechanisms underlying the influence of family travel on adolescent self-differentiation emerged.
