Question
What psychological changes take place during adolescence?
✓
Answer
Around puberty adolescents show an increase in interest in members of the opposite sex and in sexual matters and a new awareness of sexual feelings develops.
This increased attention to sexuality is caused by factors such as individual's awareness of the biological changes taking place and the emphasis placed on sexuality by peers, parents and society.
Even then, many adolescents lack adequate knowledge or have misconceptions about sex and sexuality.
The development of a sexual identity defines the sexual orientation and guides sexual behaviour.
Adolescents are preoccupied with what they are like and develop individual images of what they look like.
