  2. Stanley Hall (1844 – 1924) • American Psychologist & Educator • Focused on childhood development and evolutionary theory

  3. “Adolescence is like being a fully grown animal in a cage, an animal that sees freedom but does not know quite when freedom will occur or how to handle it. Thus the adolescent is portrayed as existing in a state of great storm and stress…” -Stanley Hall First President of the APA

  4. Margaret Mead • (1901 – 1978) • American cultural anthropologist • Reports about attitudes towards sex in Southeast Asian traditional cultures amply informed the 1960s sexual revolution

  5. Margaret Mead • Mead found, in other cultures, that adolescence is a highly enjoyable time of life and not at all marked by storm and stress. The storm and stress was a by-product of the society and not a natural occurrence.

  6. Which of the two psychologists do you agree more with…Hall or Mead? Whose argument could we categorize as Nature and which would be Nurture argument?
