Biology of Adolescent Behavior and Development

What role does pubertal maturation play in parent-adolescent relationships? How does nutrition influence physical growth and behaviour in adolescence? What biological processes affect adolescent depression? Exploring these and other significant questions, the first volume of the series, Biology of Adolescent Behavior and Development, provides a state-of-the-art assessment of the biological causes of adolescent development and behaviour. Drawn from a wide range of disciplines - psychology, medicine, psychiatry, ethology, nutrition, genetics and family studies - the contributors examine topics such as genetic versus environmental causes of adolescent development; normative organic growth; the biological connection to two different forms of normative behaviour (social behaviour and cognitive abilities); and the role of social networks in understanding adolescent behaviour and development.Adams, Gerald R. is the author of 'Biology of Adolescent Behavior and Development' with ISBN 9780803934030 and ISBN 0803934033.
