Adolescent Psych
Exam 3
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Parents with high self-esteem | lead active rewarding lives; permit dissent and discussion, but also uphold rule and decisions(adult prevails) |
Parents with low self-esteem | fewer rules; fewer limits which are poorly defined (vague). When rules are broken, punishment often nonexistent or harsh create confusion and powerlessness in kids. Weaker meaningful relationship with kids and adults. |
Parental Monitoring | includes knowing where one's children are, with whom they associate, and know what they are doing out of the house (and when in the house) |
Extensive Parental Monitoring | associated with less externalizing behavior, including conduct disorders, juvenile delinquency, and drug and alcohol use |
Parental knowledge come primarily from | teens telling their parents about their behavior |
Relationships built on trust | lent themselves to more adolescent disclosure, and therefore, less norm breaking and delinquency. |
Parenting styles with warmer relationships with high school children and parental monitoring were associated with | less problem behavior in teens and more disclosure from teens |
Active methods | directly asking for information |
passive methods | obtaining information provided by teens and others |
balance with active-passive | too active or suddenly active can appear intrusive and lead to resistance. |
Why don't teens disclose? | Avoid parental disapproval or negative consequences; protect another person; emotional reasons; gain autonomy form parents |
Kids who lie show | less self-restraint, have less cohesive families, have parents who set fewer limits, and have poorer adol-parent relationships |
identity is a | life-long process |
identity improves with | reflection |
identity is deeply tied with our | faith journey |
identity balance | we want a realistic view of ourselves without being overly concerned with ourselves, our needs, our purpose, etc. |
with Christ in the process, this should lead to: | humility,service,self-sacrifice,grace |
Without Christ at center it can lead in many directions such as" | cynicism, selfishness, anger, narcissism, etc, |
New thinking brings | deeper insight and ability to understand the self |
differentiation | occurs when we divide our experience and reality into "that's me" and "that's not me" |
Who am I? | Central question in adolescence |
Erikson called this an | Identity crisis |
