Description - Temporal Rhythms in Adolescence by Ann C. Crouter
This sourcebook delves into the way the clock and the calendar
structure the lives of adolescents, their families, and their peer
groups. The authors use a variety of research methods, including
time sampling and ethnography, to examine distinct patterns of
adolescent behavior and emotions across the school day, on weekdays
and weekends, and during the school year versus during the summer.
Their research shows some of the forces that give rise to the
temporal rhythms in adolescents' lives, including physiological,
family, and community processes. Their findings also uncover the
role of temporal patterns in shaping parent-child relations, peer
interactions, and problem behavior in adolescence.
Finally, the volume emphasizes that community planners, schools,
youth leaders, and others charged with organizing the contexts in
which adolescents develop need to understand these rhythms to
effectively meet the needs of adolescents.
This is the 82nd issue of the quarterly journal New
Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.
