Developmental Tasks in Adolescence by Klaus Hurrelmann

Developmental Tasks in Adolescence by Klaus Hurrelmann

Developmental tasks in adolescence makes an exciting contribution to the field by applying socialization theory to four major developmental tasks of life: Qualifying, Bonding, Consumption and Participation, arguing that if the tasks in these areas are mastered, then personal individuation and social integration can take place, a prerequisite for the formation of self-identity.

The authors take an inter-disciplinary approach to describe the developmental tasks young people face in present-day Western societies, and how mastering them – or not – has repercussions for the rest of their livesDevelopment is not seen as an "unfolding" of personality, but as an active process, in which internal and external factors interact. With its highly structured content, the book becomes a kind of magnet that could attract social scientists, and those from other disciplines, towards better cohesive, collaborative, future action.
