    CHAPTER 3:

    D E V E LO P M E N TA L S TA G E S
    IN
    M I D D L E - L AT E A D O L E S C E N C E
    Robert James Havighurst, a professor, physicist, educator, and
    aging expert, defined developmental task as that “which is learned at
    a specific point and which makes achievement of succeeding
    tasks possible. “

    “A developmental-task is the midway between an individual


    need and a social demand.”

    He identified eight (8) developmental tasks that adolescents


    need to accomplish in order to be happy and well-adjusted. They are
    the following:
    LESSON 1:
    THE EIGHT DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS
    TASK 1: TO ACHIEVE NEW AND MORE MATURE RELATIONS
    WITH PEERS
    It is necessary for an adolescent to learn to have a smooth inter-personal
    relationship with others regardless of their sex or gender. This behavioral maturity
    entails that you need to be able to socialize well and to cooperate with your fellow
    adolescents, to work with them for a common goal, to learn to be a leader without
    dictating, and to delay self-gratification and control fancies.
    LESSON 1:
    THE EIGHT DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS
    TASK 2: TO ADOPT SOCIALLY APPROVED ADULT ROLES
    As an adolescent, you must decide for yourselves the roles you wish to
    exhibit and carry out.Your overall way of life as an adolescent will be affected by
    the choices you make concerning this.
    LESSON 1:
    THE EIGHT DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS
    TASK 3: TO ACCEPT YOUR PHYSICAL SELF AND USE YOUR BODY
    EFFECTIVELY
    It is essential that you recognize the transformations in your bodies and
    strive to take good care of yourselves.You must take into consideration good
    nutrition, exercise, and healthy living.You must be on guard against diseases and
    keep away from bad vices such as taking unprescribed drugs, drinking alcohol,
    and smoking cigarettes.You also have to responsibly manage your sexual feelings
    and behaviors.
    LESSON 1:
    THE EIGHT DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS
    TASK 4: TO ACHIEVE EMOTIONAL INDEPENDENCE
    It entails carefully analyzing options and consequences before exhibiting
    an emotion or coming up with a decision. Being emotionally independent from
    parents does not mean that your dependence on them has to be fully lost.
    Among others, respect for them must remain while you try to be less dependent
    on them.
    TASK 5: TO DEVELOP YOUR PERSONAL ATTITUDE TOWARD
    MARRIAGE AND FAMILY LIVING
    In the future, you shall establish your own family and raise children.
    Hence, you have to acquire knowledge about entering married life, building a
    family, and child rearing.
    LESSON 1:
    THE EIGHT DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS
    TASK 6: TO SELECT AND PREPARE FOR AN OCCUPATION
    Ideally, one of the milestones in being an adolescent is finishing studies. A
    person is supposedly studying, preparing for the future, and improving their
    abilities, skills, and expertise.
    You have to make sure that you are getting the correct training in relation to the
    occupation or career you are longing for.You also have to decide whether to
    work immediately or pursue further studies in college.
    LESSON 1:
    THE EIGHT DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS
    TASK 7: TO ACQUIRE A SET OF STANDARDS AS A GUIDE TO
    BEHAVIOR
    It involves identifying principles to live by or selecting models (e.g.
    parents and teachers) to imitate. It also entails setting the hierarchy of priorities
    in your life.
    TASK 8: TO ACCEPT AND ADOPT SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
    BEHAVIOR
    In a civilized society, there are socially acceptable (mores/norms) and
    unacceptable (taboos) behaviors.You have to be of these things and be
    responsible accountable for the consequences of your actions.
    LESSON 2:
    BECOMING RESPONSIBLE AND PREPARED
    FOR ADULT LIFE
    Being able to make good choices and becoming responsible are essential
    traits no matter what developmental stage you are in, especially now that you
    are just beginning to internalize and imbibe virtues, values, and other essential
    qualities.
    There may be lots of things going on in various facets of your lives. The
    demands and expectations of your parents and other people around you can be
    stressful.
    But the good news is, you can treat those difficulties as challenges which
    can make your life exciting. Having that mindset is also an indication of
    becoming a responsible and mentally mature adolescent.

    RESPONSIBLE ADOLESCENT
