Margaret Mead on Adolescence - Dictionary of Arguments
Upton I 126 Adolescence/Mead, Margaret/Upton: adolescence has been depicted as a tumultuous period, full of chaos and confusion caused by the ‘raging hormones’ brought about by puberty (Hall, 1904)(1). Cf. >Adolescence/Anna Freud. VsHall: this image of the troubled or delinquent teenager was challenged as early as 1928(2) by Margaret Mead, who presented an account of the coming of age for Samoan adolescents that showed a very gradual and smooth transition from childhood to adulthood. The debate about storm and stress in adolescents is frequently mentioned in the literature (e.g., Arnett, 1999)(3); however, it seems that very few developmental psychologists still support this view. >Adolescence/Psychological theories.
