Theories of Development
What is a theory?
A theory guides and helps us interpret research
findings as well. It provides the researcher with
a blueprint or model to be used to help piece
together various studies. (Lumen Learning, 2021)
Developmental Theories to be discussed...
Psychosocial Theory by Erik Erikson
Cognitive Development Theory by Jean Piaget
Moral Development Theory by Kohlberg
Adolescence
Adolescence refers to the
stage from puberty to
adulthood and includes
the psychological
experiences of the child
during this period.
Puberty
• refers to the physiological changes involved in the sexual maturation of a child,
as well as other body changes that may occur during this period of time.
• Pre-puberty, pubescent, and post-pubescent.
How was your puberty journey?
Every individual “develops
and reacts in different
ways” due to factors like
Puberty Spurts
stress, weight, “nutrition,
hormonal activity, and
inherent characteristics”
- Cole, 2009
Sexual Maturation In the
Male Adolescent
Even though the male adolescent’s growth rate varies from child to child, a sequential
pattern has been identified. The typical sequence of events occurs as follows:
1. The testes and scrotum begin to increase in size.
2. Pubic hair begins to appear.
3. The penis begins to enlarge, and the adolescent growth spurt begins.
4. The larynx starts to grow and the voice deepens.
5. Hair growth begins on the upper lip.
6. Nocturnal emissions (ejaculation of semen during sleep) may occur as sperm
production increases.
Sexual Maturation In the
Male Adolescent
Even though the male adolescent’s growth rate varies from child to child, a sequential
pattern has been identified. The typical sequence of events occurs as follows:
7. Pubic hair becomes pigmented, and growth spurt reaches its peak.
8. The prostrate gland enlarges.
9. Hair growth begins in the axillas (armpits).
10. Sperm production becomes sufficient for fertility, and the growth rate decreases.
11. Physical strength is at its peak.
Sexual Maturation In the
Female Adolescent
Even though the female adolescent’s growth rate varies from child to child, a sequential
pattern has been identified. The typical sequence of events occurs as follows:
1. The adolescent growth spurt begins.
2.Non-pigmented pubic hair (downy) appears.
3.The budding stage of development (breast elevation) and the rounding of the hip
begins, accompanied by the beginning of downy axillary hair.
4.The uterus, vagina, labia and clitoris increase in size.
5.Pubic hair growth becomes rapid and is slightly pigmented.
6.Breast development advances, nipple pigmentation begins, and the areola
increases in size. Axillary hair becomes slightly pigmented.
Sexual Maturation In the
Female Adolescent
Even though the male adolescent’s growth rate varies from child to child, a sequential
pattern has been identified. The typical sequence of events occurs as follows:
7. Growth spurt reaches its peak, and then declines.
8. Menarche occurs. Menarche is the first cycle of menstruation.
9. Public hair development is completed, followed by mature breast development and
completion of axillary hair development.
10. “Adolescent sterility” ends, and the girl becomes capable of conception.
