Social Relationships in
Middle and Late
Adolescence
How does understanding group
membership and leadership
improve social relationships?
HOW CULTURE SHAPES MANY
ASPECTS OF ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
As you have known by now, the relationships adolescents have with
their peers, family, and members of their social sphere play a vital role
in their development.
Adolescence is a crucial period in social development, as
adolescents can be easily swayed by their close relationships. Research
shows there are four main types of relationships that influence an
adolescent: parents, peers, community, and society.
HOW CULTURE SHAPES MANY
ASPECTS OF ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
Adolescents begin to develop unique belief systems through their
interaction with social, familial, and cultural environments. These belief
systems encompass everything from religion and spirituality to gender,
sexuality, work ethics, and politics. The range of attitudes that a culture
embraces on a particular topic affects the beliefs, lifestyles, and
perceptions of its adolescents, and can have both positive and negative
impacts on their development.
TEENAGERS WHO JOIN YOUTH
GROUPS AND OTHER CLUBS ARE
HAPPIER AND LESS LIKELY TO
DRINK
Teenagers who belong to youth groups and other clubs lead happier
lives and are less likely to drink or smoke, a research shows. Although they
may be exposed to more peer pressure, researchers found they were also
more socially able and likely to be physically active. And the benefits
increased the more groups that they joined, the findings show.
COMMUNITY ACTIVITY:
GET INVOLVED
Getting involved in local community activities or volunteering can
boost your confidence and self-esteem and help you build new skills. You
can get started by finding activities that interest you.
