The Adolescent Years
Social Influences and Educational ChallengesEdited by Kathryn Borman and Barbara Schneider
University of Chicago Press, 1998
This volume considers adolescence in broad terms, as a "dynamic of social construction." The contributors examine the changes in various social contexts in which teenagers live—family, school, community institutions, peer groups, workplace—and show how these factors can significantly affect the progress of social and cognitive developmental tasks.
