The major theories about puberty
| Theories | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Granville Stanley Hall[1] 1844-1924 | Biogenetic psychologic theory | • First psychologist that describe the puberty and adolescence scientifically. • Describes the period as "Storm and stress" period. • A new birth, "for the higher and more completely human traits are now born" • The period is corresponding to last stage of development- Maturity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sigmund Freud[2] 1856-1939 | Psychoanalytic theory | • This stage of life could be seen phylogenetically. • The developmental stages of psychosexuality are completely defined by genetic factors and are not dependent to environmental issues. • A holistic pathway influenced by social, emotional, and also behavioral situations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Eduard Spranger[3] 1882-1963 | Philosophy of culture theory | • Describes the adolescence period and puberty as a distinct stage of life with its specific characteristics. • The puberty is the age that disorganized mental structure of the child become in utmost maturity. The "dominant value direction" of adolescent would be the main personality identifier. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Otto Rank[4]
1884-1939 | Independence theory | • Criticize the major role of sexuality in this process, and assume "will" as the main controller of sexuality. • The main part of puberty is to change from dependence to independence. • Beginning of the puberty, the adolescent start to struggle with dependency, both externally (parents, society, and laws) and internally (self cravings as instinctual urges). • No need to externally limit or inhibit sexualism, through which the adolescent is finding independence in front of biological needs' dominance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Leta Hollingworth[5] 1886-1939 | Continuity of development theory | • Believes that puberty is based on continuity and progresses gradually, not through distinct stages. • Biological and social changes during puberty are not correlated. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Anna Freud[6] 1895-1982 | Defense mechanism theory | • The most important factor in formation of person's character. • Normal progression may encounter the obstacle, in which id is overriding the ego. • The defense mechanisms of ego against id are the main determinant of puberty process and outcome. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Jean Piaget[7] 1896-1980 | Cognitive theory | • The main step in puberty is growing of logical thinking. • The final stage of egocentrism happens at puberty, transitioning from childhood to adulthood. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Erik Erikson[8] 1902-1994 | Identity development theory | • Assumes that the most important issue during the period is identity crisis. • The adolescent has to find the identity, himself/herself, through evaluating the capabilities and weaknesses, and also the way they can be used. • In case the person defeated in finding an stable identity , it may lead to place him/her in self-doubt and role confusion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Roger Barker[9] 1903-1990 | Somatopsychological theory | • Evaluates the influence of physiological changes on behavior by puberty. These changes are in body dimensions and hormonal secretion, that experience accelerated speed during adolescence. • These physical changes allow the adolescents to present in adult communities, and therefore improving behaviors and beliefs. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| James Marcia[10]
1930s-Now | Identity status theory | • Describes identity as "an internal, self-constructed, dynamic organization of drives, abilities, beliefs and individual history". • The more the person is going through puberty, the more he/she stabilizes the identity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- In 1904, Hall described the puberty as "storm and stress" period. The stage assumed to consist of oppositional and emotionally labile characteristics in adolescents. The future adulthood life quality is related to and also influenced from this period outline, significantly .
- In 1958, Anna Freud showed that some biological and physiological changes during the puberty are the main factors contributing to "storm and stress".[11]
- In 1999, Bogin demonstrate that in human beings the time of maturation and puberty is later than other apes; which is due to more complicated childhood growth process. The suggested age of maturation in chimpanzee was 3 years earlier than humans.[12]
- Researchers have found that in a Turkana boy (from the species of Homo erectus) from 1.6 million years ago, the puberty was earlier than today humans; however, their final height were more than modern humans.[13]
