Adolescence in Context

Adolescence in Context by award-winning author Tara L. Kuther is a topically oriented text that connects learners to the science shaping our understanding of today's teenagers and young adults. Organized around three core themes-the centrality of context, the importance of research, and the applied value of developmental science-the text presents classic and current research, along with foundational theories, framed in real-life intersectional contexts such as sex, gender, race, ethnicity, ability, and socioeconomic status. With the new Second Edition, students can expect to gain a deeper understanding of adolescence that they can apply to their personal lives and future careers.
