An interdependent family environment may involve aspirations that their offspring in the future shall contribute to the economic and social support of older family members, while the larger society insist they make autonomous decisions and put their personal happiness in the first place. How immigrant children and adolescents balance various family-inculcated collectivist values and traditions against the individualist values of the host society is not yet understood very well. Neither do we know whether and in what ways this balance affects the development of their self-concept and close relationships with in-group members during the life span as a whole, and during adolescence in particular.
Adolescents often shift from one status to another while forming their identity. Identity Diffusion The adolescents described by this status lack clear direction; they are not committed to any goals or values and are not actively involved in trying to reach them. They have never explored their ideals and goals or perhaps have tried and found the task to be too overwhelming. Teenagers who find it difficult to realize their occupation goals and life values are at risk for identity diffusion. These adolescents will experience difficulty in adjustment, and long-term diffused adolescents are the least mature in identity development.
The opposite may also apply when an adolescent thinks that what is important to him is also important to others when it may not be. An ecological perspective looks at the many factors that influence adolescent behav- Adolescent Personal Fable ior. In addition to the many external factors, this type of adolescent egocentrism is an important concept to understand when working with adolescents, who may think that they are invulnerable to risks and that no one could possibly understand how they feel.
