Question 5

Adolescents' search for identity is especially likely to be prolonged well into their late teens in cultures that value

Accepted Answer

Cultures that value individualism tend to encourage adolescents to explore and develop their own unique identities, which can lead to a prolonged search for identity beyond the traditional adolescent years. Cultures that value conformity may have more prescribed roles and expectations for adolescents, which could lead to a more cohesive sense of identity earlier on. Preconventional morality refers to Kohlberg's theory of moral development and is not directly related to the search for identity. A strong sense of basic trust is related to Erikson's theory of psychosocial development and is important for developing a positive sense of self, but it is not necessarily linked to the duration of the search for identity.

The formal operational stage is a cognitive development stage that typically occurs in adolescence.

Accepted Answer

Mallory's situation best fits the description of emerging adulthood, which is the developmental stage between adolescence and full adulthood characterized by exploration, instability, self-focus, and possibility.

Accepted Answer

Compared to their counterparts in more collectivist countries, 17-year-olds in North America are more likely to have experienced romantic relationships. In individualist societies, such as those in North America, there is more emphasis on personal autonomy and independence, which can lead to earlier exploration of romantic relationships. In contrast, collectivist societies place more importance on group harmony and interdependence, which may delay or inhibit the pursuit of romantic relationships.
