Neuroscience and Developmental Psychology
Recent advances in developmental theory and neurobiological research present an opportunity to design developmentally informed models for understanding and addressing challenges faced by individuals 18 to 26 years old who have now come to be known as “emerging adults.” Arnett (2000) introduced the term emerging adulthood to identify the developmental phase in persons ages 18-26 years. This developmental phase, according to Arnett (2004), is characterized by: 1) identity exploration, where one’s sense of self and self-identification in major life areas such as love, work and world perspective is refined and redefined; 2) generalized instability in all areas of life with uncertainty of future possibilities and potential life paths; 3) a state of in-between adolescence and adulthood; 4) self-focus with a shift toward greater individual identity, personal power, self-regulation , and self-agency; and 5) possibilities and risks with risk factors peaking and biological, … [Read more...] about Neuroscience and Developmental Psychology
6 Types of Friendship Breakups
Friendship breakups are hard for kids. Source: greg westfall/Flickr Everyone loves the idea of having a “best friend forever,” but things often don’t work out that way. A meta-analysis by Diana Meter and Noel Card (2016) examined 57 studies of children between 6- and 17-years old and concluded that only about half of children’s friendships were stable for a whole year.

By sixth grade (approximately age 11-12 years), two out of every three children have experienced a best friendship break-up.

Why Consumers No Longer Like Advertising
Source: J Cruz/Pexels Advertising was once a far more important part of culture than it is today. New ad campaigns were frequently covered in popular media. It was not unusual for morning coffee conversations to be about the latest commercials seen the night before. In the 1970s, it was ads like “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!” (Alka-Seltzer) or “Pardon me. Do you have any Grey Poupon?” In the 1980s, the Apple Macintosh “1984” commercial … the 1990s, Cindy Crawford’s “Just One Look” Pepsi commercial. Advertising was engaging and enjoyable to watch, making brands successful and profitable. The event that transformed advertising to mass-culture status was the “Creative Revolution”—the decade from 1960-1970. This “golden age” of advertising resulted from the storytelling power of 30-second TV commercials and the talents of creative advertising pioneers like Bill Bernbach and Mary Wells. The spark of the “revolution” was the intuitive understanding of what goes on … [Read more...] about Why Consumers No Longer Like Advertising
