Based on the trends derived from a series of mixed-method studies with adolescent girls and boys, and parents from urban upper middle class families, it explores adolescents? and parents? interpretations of the stage of adolescence, illustrates views on parenting, and discusses approaches to interpersonal disagreements to derive a framework of the parent-adolescent relationship. Drawing from the cultural-contextual perspective of human development, the book in its essence offers a culturally and contextually sensitive model of adolescence that is shaped along the central tenets of family interdependence, harmony, and sensitivity to parental concerns. Highlighted as well are aspects that have remained mostly unexplored, for example, adolescents? capacity for empathy and perspective taking, and emerging issues of autonomy in a primarily relational culture. At a broader level, the book reflects upon the interplay of cultural continuity and change, and contributes to an understanding of globalizing influences on human development. Overall, the depiction of adolescent development captured in the book has significant implications for enhancing family relationships and fostering self-growth?elements that are crucial for positive youth development. The book will be of immense use to scholars in human development, psychology, and allied fields as well as to practitioners who work with adolescents. 606 $aDevelopmental psychology 606 $aChildren 606 $aAdolescence 606 $aEducational psychology 606 $aEducation?Psychology 606 $aDevelopmental Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20010 606 $aChildhood, Adolescence and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22090 606 $aEducational Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O39000 615 0$aDevelopmental psychology. 615 0$aChildren. 615 0$aAdolescence. 615 0$aEducational psychology. 615 0$aEducation?Psychology. 615 14$aDevelopmental Psychology. 615 24$aChildhood, Adolescence and Society. 615 24$aEducational Psychology. 676 $a155 700 $aKapadia$b Shagufa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0766708 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254799703321 996 $aAdolescence in Urban India$91560304 997 $aUNINA
