Adjustment of adolescents

Based on original research carried out from Phoenix to Hong Kong, Adjustment in Adolescents examines adolescent adjustment to school, family and friends across seven cultures. Ruth and William Scott focus on social influences from family, friends and culture as they impinge on the adolescent's coping mechanisms, and examine the adolescent's personality, attitudinal, demographic and family characteristics. The authors also provide valuable insights into the methodologies of cross-cultural study.

First sentence: One of the major challenges facing those living in technologically advanced societies is the need to adjust to various, and sometimes conflicting, social systems such as the family, friendship networks, work or school groups, and various traditional groups including the church which are oriented toward preserving cultural norms.
