The body can not be considered a
thing possessed but a field of experience. Some authors refer to the concept of
body schema (Sbattella, Castles, Pines, 2015). It indicates the construction of
the neurophysiological representation of body. However, we must also consider
the physical identity. It is the features and quality that the individual
attaches to his body.
The teenager through somatic and
psychological changes very strong. These changes are related in a relational
and social environment in which it is inserted.
The somatic transformations are
characterized by individual variability. In females the growth spurt occurs on
average two years earlier than males (Sbattella, Castles, Pines, 2015).
The psychological impact of these
changes is variable. Some young people incur in the so-called evolutionary
arrhythmia. It manifests itself when during development appear inharmonies
physical appearance.
They can happen early or late
puberty. This early development has different effects in males and females.
From the psychological point of view, in fact, for males in general is an
advantage. For females, however, the opposite situation occurs.
During adolescence the young also builds
their gender identity. It consists of many factors. They are the biological,
subjective, cognitive, social, educational and cultural. The young can for
example recognize the differences in how you feel on a subjective level, in its
cognitive assessment and social representation, which corresponds to how he
thinks others see.
In this respect many authors pose the importance of
socialization context in which you put the development of sexual role (Huston
and Alvarez, 1990).
