Adoleszenz und Migration: Adoleszenzverläufe weiblicher und männlicher Bildungsmigranten aus Westafrika
by Marga GüntherDie Arbeit beleuchtet adoleszente Entwicklungsprozesse afrikanischer Bildungsmigranten in Deutschland und geht der Frage nach, wie Adoleszenz- und Migrationsprozesse zusammenwirken. Die Analyse von biographischen Interviews verdeutlicht, wie die adoleszenten Möglichkeitsräume adoleszenter BildungsmigrantInnen beschaffen sind und wie die Auseinandersetzung mit Veränderungen sowohl auf individueller wie sozial-gesellschaftlicher Ebene transformierte Lebensentwürfe hervorbringt. Die adoleszenztheoretische Perspektive ermöglicht den Blick auf die Innenwelt der jugendlichen MigrantInnen jenseits der üblichen Kategorien wie "Kultur", "ethnische Identität" etc. und gibt Aufschlüsse darüber, ob und in welcher Weise die Jugendlichen mit ihren sozialen Praxen oder Identitäten an kulturell oder ethnisch definierte Bilder anknüpfen oder aus welchen anderen Bildern oder Vorstellungen sich ihre Lebensentwürfe generieren.
Adoleszenz Und Arbeit: Das Subjektive Verhältnis Jugendlicher Zur Erwerbsarbeit (Arbeit Und Organisation Ser. #9)
by Andreas FischerWie wollen Jugendliche arbeiten, wie entwickelt sich ihr subjektives Verhältnis zur Erwerbsarbeit und welche Rolle spielen dabei gegenwärtige Sozialisationsbedingungen und gesellschaftliche Dynamiken? Der Topos der Selbstverwirklichung in Diagnosen und Erzählungen zur »Jugend von heute« schreibt sich stetig fort, doch Andreas Fischer zeigt auf Grundlage adoleszenztheoretischer Überlegungen und im Anschluss an arbeits- und jugendsoziologische Debatten, dass dessen Fundament in der Theorie zunehmend brüchig wird. Was das konkret für das subjektive Verhältnis Jugendlicher zur Erwerbsarbeit bedeutet, veranschaulicht er über eine umfangreiche quantitative und qualitative Empirie.
Adoleszenz in einem palästinensischen Flüchtlingscamp: Generationenverhältnisse, Möglichkeitsräume und das Narrativ der Rückkehr (Adoleszenzforschung #3)
by Christoph H. SchwarzDie palästinensischen Flüchtlingslager bestehen seit nunmehr über 60 Jahren. Wie erleben Jugendliche, die heute in dritter Generation dort aufwachsen, den Übergang ins Erwachsenenalter? Welche Lebensentwürfe entwickeln sie? Wie gehen sie mit den Erwartungen, Wertvorstellungen und tradierten Narrativen der älteren Generation um? Welche Vorstellungen haben sie von den Israelis und deren Narrativen? Ausgehend von Gruppengesprächen und ethnographischen Beobachtungen wird in dieser Arbeit die Struktur des adoleszenten Möglichkeitsraumes in einem Flüchtlingscamp in der Westbank untersucht. Im Fokus steht die Gruppendynamik während der Gespräche und die Forschungsbeziehung, die sich über vier Forschungsaufenthalte hin entwickelte.

Adolescents, Rapid Social Change, and the Law: The Transforming Nature of Protection (Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development)
by Roger J.R. LevesqueThis book reviews broad social changes affecting youth development and the inconsistency of the legal system in updating its approach to adolescents’ rights. Legal experts examine current adolescent protections and offer research-based proposals for revising laws that underserve or criminalize youth under the rubric of protection. Focusing on the key areas of technology and media, education, and personal relationships, chapters discuss legal responses to a range of challenges impacting young people, including sexual exploitation, the right to privacy, military family issues, and the school-to-prison pipeline. The book’s nuanced concept of legal protection credits youth with greater competence than currently afforded, in hope that adolescents can take more ownership of their evolving lives in a rapidly changing society.Topics featured in this volume include:How to balance freedom of expression with adolescents’ right to data protection. The sexualization of media and its effects on youth attitudes and behaviors. The rising phenomenon of teenage sexting. Protecting students’ sexual identity in private schools. Youth sex and labor trafficking and possible solutions to alleviate the widespread crime.Adolescents, Rapid Social Change, and the Law is a must-have resource for researchers and professors, clinicians and related professionals as well as graduate students in developmental psychology, family studies, public health, educational policy and politics, and social policy.
Adolescents, Cultures, and Conflicts: Growing Up in Contemporary Europe (MSU Series on Children, Youth and Families)
by Jari-Erik NurmiFirst published in 1998.

Adolescents, Crime, and the Media: A Critical Analysis (Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development)
by Christopher J FergusonA campus shooting. A gang assault. A school bus ambush. With each successive event, fingers are pointed at the usual suspects: violent films, bloody video games, explicit web sites. But to what extent can—or should—the media be implicated in youth crime? And are today's sophisticated young people really that susceptible to their influence?Adolescents, Crime, and the Media critically examines perceptions of these phenomena through the lens of the ongoing relationship between generations of adults and youth. A wealth of research findings transcends the standard nature/nurture debate, analyzing media effects on young people's behavior, brain development in adolescence, ways adults can be misled about youth’s participation in criminal acts, and how science can be manipulated by prevailing attitudes toward youth. The author strikes a necessary balance between the viewpoints of media providers and those seeking to restrict media or young people's access to them. And the book brings scientific and intellectual rigor to culturally and politically charged issues as it covers:Violence in the media.Media portrayals of crime and youth.Research on violent television programs, video games, and other media as causes of crime.Effects of pornography on behavior.Public policy, censorship, and First Amendment issues.Adolescents, Crime, and the Media is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, professionals, and clinicians across such interrelated disciplines as developmental psychology, sociology, educational policy, criminology/criminal justice, child and school psychology, and media law.
Adolescents At Risk: Medical and Social Perspectives
by David E. RogersThis text seeks to examine the factors that cause teenage violence, risky sexual behaviour (including risk of AIDS), and alcohol and drug abuse. It also addresses the guidelines that should be followed by those who seek to reduce societal costs resulting from the disfunctional behaviour of young people unable to make the transition from adolescence to young adulthood without special assistance and support.

Adolescents and War: How Youth Deal with Political Violence
by Brian K BarberHundreds of thousands of children are forced or legally recruited combatants in no fewer than 70 warring parties across the world. In addition to these child soldiers, thousands of youth voluntarily participate in politically related conflict. Why, how, and in what capacities are such large numbers of teenagers involved in war and how are they affected? Adolescents and War brings together world experts in an evidence-based volume to thoroughly understand and document the intricacies of youth who have had substantial involvement in political violence. Contributors argue that the assumption that youth are automatically debilitated by the violence they experience is much too simplistic: effective care for youth must include an awareness of their motives and beliefs, the roles they played in the conflict, their relationships with others, and the opportunities available to them after their experiences with war. The book suggests that the meaning youth make of a conflict may protect them from mental harm. For example, Palestinian teens who were actively engaged in the first Intifada have fared better than Bosnian teens who were virtual sitting ducks to the sniper and grenade launches of the hidden forces during the siege of Sarajevo. Covering youth involvement in conflicts in Afghanistan, Angola, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine, and Bosnia, the volume will be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists and should be adopted for courses in social psychology, crisis intervention, and international conflict.
Adolescents and Their Social Media Narratives: A Digital Coming of Age (Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society)
by Jill WalshAdolescents are forging a new path to self-development, taking advantage of the technology at their fingertips to produce desired results. In Adolescents and Their Social Media Narratives, Walsh specifically explores how social media impacts teenagers' personal development. Indeed, through unique empirical data, Walsh presents an aspect of teen media use that is not often documented in the press—the seemingly deep and meaningful process of evaluating the self visually in an attempt to reconcile their presentation with their internal "self-story." Nevertheless, as Walsh outlines, this is not a process without its challenges. Tracking teenagers’ progress towards self-validation from the offline stages preceding online exhibitions, this enlightening volume will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, scholars, and researchers interested in fields such as Social Media Studies, Sociology of Adolescence, Identity Formation, Developmental Psychology, and Society and Technology.

Adolescent Use of New Media and Internet Technologies: Debating Risks and Opportunities in the Digital Age
by Gordon P. IngramThis book engages with contemporary, and often polarizing, debates surrounding the risks of adolescent use of digital media and internet technologies. By drawing on multiple research studies, the text synthesizes current understandings of the impacts of social network use, online gaming, pornography, and phenomena, including cyberbullying, cyberstalking, and internet addiction, to develop recommendations for the effective identification of at-risk youth, as well as strategies for informed communication about online risks and opportunities. It shows how media discussion of risks to children and teenagers from new technology is highly emotive and often exaggerated, rooted in the “moral panic” surrounding new cultural practices that young people engage in, but which adults do not understand. Online risks are thus conceptualized as centering on three areas, specific to adolescence, which have undergone radical changes due to new internet technology. These include young people’s identity, the types of content that are accessed, and social relationships. The author shows how these matters stem from the potential of new technology to establish new interpersonal connections, emphasizing how it brings opportunities, as much as risks. As such, he provides a uniquely balanced discussion of potential dangers, while also emphasizing the opportunities for social, academic, and personal growth which new technologies afford young people. It will be indispensable for researchers and clinicians interested in assessing levels of online risk, as well as scholars and educators with interests in cyberpsychology, social psychology, cyber culture, social aspects of computing and media, and adolescent development.

Adolescent Reputations and Risk: Developmental Trajectories to Delinquency (Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development)
by Annemaree Carroll John A. Hattie Stephen Houghton Kevin DurkinThe news of teenagers and even younger children committing ever more serious and violent crimes continues to shock and baffle. The escalating psychological and social toll of youth crime is being paid by all – from victims to offenders to parents and siblings to teachers and to the community as a whole. "Adolescent Reputations and Risk" looks beyond traditional theories to examine, from a solid empirical basis, the motivation and values that make some young people choose antisocial over positive behavior, resulting in potent new insights and possible solutions to this ongoing problem. Synthesizing 15 years of research with delinquent youth, this volume describes the volatile dynamic of child and adolescent social worlds, emphasizing reputation enhancement and goal-setting as bases underlying deviant behavior. In innovative and accessible terms, "Adolescent Reputations and Risk" addresses delinquency throughout the course of childhood and adolescence, offers the first detailed explanation of delinquency by integrating goal-setting and reputation enhancement theories, provides evidence analyzing deviant trends in goal-setting and reputation enhancement terms among primary and high school students, answers key questions on topics such as impulsivity, drug and inhalant use, early-childhood psychopathy, links between ADHD and aggression, and the psychology of loners and includes current data on interventions for at-risk youth, including family and school methods, cognitive-behavioral therapy, wilderness and boot camp programs, and interactive multimedia strategies. This volume is an essential resource for clinical child, school, and counseling psychologists; social workers; and allied education and community mental health professionals and practitioners.

Adolescent Girls' Migration in The Global South: Transitions into Adulthood (Palgrave Studies on Children and Development)
by Katarzyna Grabska Marina de Regt Nicoletta Del FrancoThis book provides a nuanced, complex, comparative analysis of adolescent girls’ migration and mobility in the Global South. The stories and the narratives of migrant girls collected in Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Sudan guide the readers in drawing the contours of their lives on the move, a complex, fluid scenario of choices, constraints, setbacks, risks, aspirations and experiences in which internal or international migration plays a pivotal role. The main argument of the book is that migration of adolescent girls intersects with other important transitions in their lives, such as those related to education, work, marriage and childbearing, and that this affects their transition into adulthood in various ways. While migration is sometimes negative, it can also offer girls new and better opportunities with positive implications for their future lives. The book explores also how concepts of adolescence and adulthood for girls are being transformed in the context of migration.
Adolescent Girls at Risk
by Harold Marchant Helen M. SmithAdolescent Girls at Risk focuses on a fieldwork that employed measures and programs designed to help girls in their transformation to adolescence. The book first ponders on the theoretical background and plan of the project, including fieldwork aims and methods, research aims and methods, and at risk factors. The text then examines the girls who are the subjects of the study, as well as the start of fieldwork. The book explores the kind of bond and relationship that developed among the girls, particularly the strategies that social workers have employed in assisting them to recognize and achieve personally satisfying relationship with adults, peers, and authority. The manuscript also takes a look at the termination of the project work and research analysis of the fieldwork. The book is a dependable source of information for social workers and researchers interested in studying the transformation of girls to adolescence.
Adolescent Development and School Achievement in Urban Communities: Resilience in the Neighborhood
by Gary Creasey Patricia A. Jarvis Gary L. CreaseyThis timely volume explores essential themes, issues, and challenges related to adolescents’ lives and learning in underserviced urban areas. Distinguished scholars provide theoretically grounded, multidisciplinary perspectives on contexts and forces that influence adolescent development and achievement. The emphasis is on what is positive and effective, what can make a real difference in the lives and life chances for urban youths, rather than deficits and negative dysfunction. Going beyond solely traditional psychological theories, a strong conceptual framework addressing four domains for understanding adolescent development undergirds the volume: developmental continuities from childhood primary changes (biological, cognitive, social) contexts of development adolescent outcomes. A major federal government initiative is the development of programs to support underserviced urban areas. Directly relevant to this initiative, this volume contributes significantly to gaining a realistic understanding of the contexts and institutions within which urban youths live and learn.
