Psychologist & Educator
Focused on childhood development and evolutionary theory
Stanley Hall
“Adolescence is like being a fully grown animal in a cage, an animal that sees freedom but does not know quite
when freedom will occur or how to handle it. Thus the adolescent is portrayed as existing in a state of
great storm and stress…”-Stanley Hall
First President of the APA
Margaret Mead (1901 – 1978) American cultural
anthropologist Reports about attitudes
towards sex in Southeast Asian traditional cultures amply informed the 1960s sexual revolution
Margaret Mead Mead found, in other cultures, that
adolescence is a highly enjoyable time of life and not at all marked by storm and stress. The storm and stress was a by-product of the society and not a natural occurrence.
