Abstract
In this chapter, I will provide a critical overview and discussion of past and current research on psychological understanding in early and middle adolescence. This chapter contains an outline of theories and research that support the notion that adolescents may begin to experience self and social ambiguity differently from younger children and adults, and these differences may be influenced by gender, cultural background, and age.
