Recent methodological advances have allowed empirical research on adolescence to do better justice to theoretical models. Organized by a life course framework, this review covers the state of contemporary research on adolescents' physical, psychological, interpersonal, and institutional pathways; how these pathways connect within primary ecological contexts; and how they relate to broader patterns of societal stratification and historical change. Looking forward, it also emphasizes three future challenges/opportunities, including efforts to illuminate biosocial processes, link adolescence to other life stages, and account for the influence of major social changes (e.g., the new media).
最近的方法学进展使关于青少年的实证研究能够更好地体现理论模型。本综述以生命历程框架为组织架构,涵盖了当代关于青少年身体、心理、人际和制度路径的研究状况;这些路径在主要生态环境中如何相互联系;以及它们如何与更广泛的社会分层模式和历史变迁相关联。展望未来,它还强调了三个未来的挑战/机遇,包括努力阐明生物社会过程、将青少年时期与其他生命阶段联系起来,以及考量重大社会变革(如新媒体)的影响。
