Perception of affect attunement by adolescents

Article Abstract:

Analysis of research results show that adolescents are able to perceive and identify the different levels of affect attunement in others and that female adolescents identify affect attunement better than male adolescents. Affect attunement is the process of recognizing, experiencing and adjusting affective state to match and share with others' subjective states. The ability to affectively attune reflects early parent-child relationships and will determine the ability to initiate and establish healthy and harmonious interpersonal and emotional relationships.

Adolescents who offend

Article Abstract:

The tendency of adolescents to offend is a part of their developing process and should be viewed in a normative context. Some degree of law breaking is normal and decreases with maturity. The majority of teenage offenders come from psychopathic families. Alcoholism and drug abuse, bullying in institutions, and violence in the family cause adolescent violence. The teenagers have to be taught to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. They have to be encouraged by adults and helped to become financially independent.
