Summary of the Video: “Возрастная психология: Младший школьный возраст, Подростковый возраст, Юность, Молодость”

This video provides an in-depth overview of developmental psychology across four key life stages: primary school age, adolescence, youth, and early adulthood. It highlights the psychological crises, social situations, leading activities, and central new formations characteristic of each stage, emphasizing the evolving self-awareness and social roles of individuals as they mature.

Main Ideas and Concepts by Age Stage

1. Primary School Age (approx. 7-12 years)

Social Situation of Development: The child becomes a “public adult” with emerging rights, responsibilities, and social sanctions.
Leading Activity: Educational activity, characterized by:
- Arbitrariness (self-regulation and willpower)
- Motivation (influenced by teachers and parents)
- Specific tasks requiring planned actions and control
Mental Development:
- Shift from visual-figurative thinking to verbal-logical thinking
- Developing voluntary attention (~10-20 minutes max)
- Memory becomes meaningful and voluntary, not just mechanical
- Imagination progresses through reproductive and productive stages
Recommendations:
- Homework sessions should not exceed 20 minutes without breaks
- Physical activity is important for development

2. Adolescence (approx. 9-16 years)

Adolescent Crisis: Lasts roughly from 12 to 16 years, with two phases:
- Negative Phase (12-14 years): Behavioral variability, loss of old interests, high susceptibility to peer influence
- Positive Phase (15-16 years): Formation of goal-setting, self-awareness, and emerging sense of place in the world
Social Situation of Development: Primarily revolves around the teenager-peer relationship; intimate peer communication is the leading activity.
Physical and Psychological Changes:
- Onset of puberty (menstruation in girls, puberty in boys)
- Age of contradictions: caught between childhood and adulthood
- Need for adult recognition of the teenager’s emerging adulthood
Mental Development:
- Growth of personal self-reflection and autonomous morality
- Formation of self-concept by around age 15
Recommendations:
- Parents and adults should support teenagers, especially regarding physiological changes and sex education
- Open, gradual conversations about body changes, hygiene, sexuality, and contraception are essential

3. Youth / Late Adolescence (approx. 16-21 years)

Social Situation of Development: Marked by choosing a life path and preparing for adulthood
Leading Activity: Educational and professional activity aimed at acquiring a profession or specialty
Central New Formations:
- Emergence of individuality and life plans
- Development of time perspective and ability to plan
- Beginning of stable self-awareness and worldview formation
- The problem of the meaning of life becomes central
Crisis of Youth: Occurs around 17-20 years, characterized by:
- Entry into authorship of one’s own life
- Possible frustration and doubts about chosen specialty or life direction
- Reality vs. expectation conflicts
- Continued search for life meaning

4. Early Adulthood (approx. 20-35 years)

Social Situation of Development: Focus on choosing a life partner, creating a family, and societal integration
Leading Activities: Professional work and parental responsibilities
Central New Formations:
- Family relationships and roles of motherhood/fatherhood
- Sense of professional competence
Crisis of 30 Years:
- Seen as a midpoint or “middle of life”
- Motivated by feelings of escape from responsibilities but actually a confrontation with self
- Necessitates reevaluation and adjustment of life goals and plans
- Spiritual work and self-acceptance are key to resolution
Four Types of Independence Acquired:
1. Emotional independence: self-regulation of mood and emotions
2. Goal-setting independence: relying on personal ideas and plans
3. Functional independence: ability to solve problems and cope
4. Conflict independence: separation from toxic relationships and full adult integrity
