A Study On Peer Adolescents

In modern-day society, there are numerous people who take pleasure in separating themselves from the typical standards of society; however, there are also people who feel uncomfortable expressing themselves in the own, distinctive ways. Because they feel this way, many adolescents believe that by camouflaging themselves into their peer’s behaviors and beliefs that they will fit in with social norm, accepted beliefs and behaviors in a social group or society, and the reason why they have this mentality, is because of the lack of confidence to express their ideas in their own unique ways. The belief that students and kids have to live up to social norms, are implemented on them by social influences, more specifically, their peers.

Part I: The legal considerations would be to inform the participants that there would be no harm or risk to the participants. Since the participants are adolescents the researcher needs to obtain a secure informed consent from the parent or guardian before they participate. The researcher’s ethics are to provide full disclosure to the participants. The researcher should be open and honest to the participants regarding the study. The researcher’s ethical consideration is to protect the privacy of each participant. This can be accomplished by ensuring confidentiality and by having the data stored securely. Also, the researcher should

16. The participant population will consist of undergraduate students currently enrolled in psychology courses at Valdosta State University. Approximately 20 participants will perform the experiment. All participants will be at least eighteen years of age. Students will be asked to voluntarily participate in this experiment. If a participant refuses to participate in the experiment then he or she will not be bothered again.

Besides educational and socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity is a status that is incredibly impactful in teenagers lives and it is singlehandedly the most influential social status in the lives of teenagers today. Race and ethnicity determines what others think of a person on first sight. The way our society is structured has created preconceived biases within all people against certain races. These biases and prejudices are what cause the oppression of certain races. Similar to education and socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity effects jobs people can obtain, the places they live, and how people are treated. People of color have been long oppressed in the United States, when teenagers began to emerge as an age group only white teenagers were focused on in the media, it was said that “As far as the national market was concerned, there was no other kind of teenager… Black teenagers were still invisible as far as mainstream society was concerned” (Palladino). The same was said for Mexican-American teens, “For instance, Mexican-American ‘pachucos,’ the would-be bobby soxers of a less prosperous community, offered a very different image of teenage life, an image rarely seen at the time, outside of social worker reports or professional journals...Like other minority youth, pachucos, were just not considered part of the ‘American’ scene” (Palladino). The United States has been built on the ideals of white supremacy, meaning that race and ethnicity determines whether one

In order to protect the subjects ethically and legally in this research project and in accordance with the ethical principles discussed above, researchers will obtain informed consent by describing all the potential benefits and risks of this study to the participants. The risks would include: 1) the possibility that the participants would have an increased level of distress and anxiety throughout the project, 2) the possibility of being identified as a participant in the research project, 3) the inconvenience of the project and opportunity costs such as using participants own gas to drive to an interview, 4) exploitation such as participants feeling pressurized to participate because of a sense of duty 5) Misrepresentation which means that

In this particular stage of collecting the data, one has to cognizant of the participants and the method of selection. The best method would be to conduct workshops or health fairs and then ask individuals to participate in the study. It could be that the individuals who volunteer would be glad to share the information. At times, it is best to approach people in the area when they show interest. Since this is a health issue and the participants might have the similar interest in attending the same events. There would be surveys provided to ask these individuals to

Romantic teenage relationships are completely unnecessary for the adolescents involved considering they have their future to worry about. Typically, every teenager has their future and potential careers to worry about; quite frankly, the children should not be focusing on their partner's future, or have anything else in mind other than completing their education. Simply, the adolescents fail to remember their priorities before getting into a relationship with another teenager.

Each group member was assigned to hand out surveys. These were to be distributed among Morgan County residents. Each survey had nine questions on them. The questions stated were: age? Gender? Current stress level? How often does suicide cross your mind? Do you believe thinking about suicide is normal? Have you ever tried to commit suicide? If you attempted suicide, what caused you to do so? Do you know of any-one who has committed suicide? If yes what was their gender? If you knew someone who committed suicide, why did they do it? After everyone had their surveys completed the group went through and analyzed the data to better understand if the hypothesis was answered.

The study I chose was based on adolescent depression with family checkup. This study replicated previous research that had an impact on family checkup. Five hundred and ninety three diverse families were selected from three middle schools. Parents that agreed signed a consent form. Each participants received twenty dollars for the assessment. Youth gender was evenly split among the participants. Three hundred and eighty six families were assigned to the intervention condition and two hundred seven to the control condition. The intervention group had no access to their services. Surveys were collected annually about all the youths in the study. Data was also collected through self-reports. Additional information was collected as FCU such as

Do you remember adolescence ? The awkwardness, the pimples, the first crush, the first kiss? Wasn’t it the best? Don’t you wish you could go back? I don’t. Like most people I hated adolescence it was a strange and confusing time. Looking back at my adolescents I sometimes wonder why I acted the way I did. During this observation I couldn’t help but think “ I really hope I wasn 't this bad back then,” but lets face it I probably was.

Teenage is a fundamental stage of life that each human being passes through. Some people face this period of their life strongly and positively, while others face many problems and difficulties. This depends on the environment these young adults live in, their parents, their friends, their living conditions, their education, and many other factors. Teenagers face many problems such as becoming addicted to drugs and alcohol, being influenced negatively by their peers, self-image and weight, or even arguments with their parents

During this time of my virtual teen’s life they experienced many physical, cognitive, and socioemotional changes and developments. In these years they experienced challenges that many adolescents face such as finding their identity, adjusting to high school, developing morals, and adjusting to a divorced family. All the while they were consistently doing well in school academically while having some minor issues socially as they tended to stay shy around new people and keep to a small close group of friends.

The project aim at teenagers, therefore sample group is between 13 to 19. I will set the sample sizes in 50 participants since it is easy to identity and more precision. If a sample sizes increase, it is very hard to estimate and become not accurate. Also, I’m worry about the extremes data can’t make a balance out, so the project prefers small sample sizes. It can take less effort to gain and maintain people, it is easy to produce significant results and comfortable to find a group of people. I will obtain samples from friends or friends’ sister and brother.
