En savoir plus sur le livre

Despite a wealth of research on young people's understanding of the physical world, there is very little available on their understanding of the social world, or how they understand the functioning of society. In this study, the authors take a social-cognitive view of adolescence, focusing on the processes by which young people learn to understand other people's thoughts, emotions, intentions and behaviour. Such understanding is often partial and fragmented because social knowledge, unlike knowledge of the physical world, is often arbitrary, determined by economic and cultural variables rather than by observation and experiment.
