Summary:

Arnett (Clark U.) assembles 24 abridged and updated chapters from the two-volume International Encyclopedia of Adolescence (2007) that describe adolescent psychology (focusing on ages 10 to 25) in specific countries in Africa and the Middle East, Asia, the Americas, and Europe. For each chapter, psychologists (as well as sociologists, educators, economists, and demographers) from these countries detail background information like demographics, ethnic diversity, and the political system; the period of adolescence; beliefs; gender; the self; family relationships; friends and peers/youth culture; love and sexuality; health risk behavior; education; work; media; politics and the military; and unique issues. The volume is aimed at students in adolescent psychology, lifespan development, and cultural psychology courses, as well as clinicians and researchers.
