Correct Answer - Option 3 : Assertiveness

'Adolescencecomes from the Latin word 'Adolescere' which means 'to grow to become mature'. It a stage which lies between the age of '12 to 19 years'. Adolescence is a difficult journey of self-exploration and interaction with the world. It is characterized by contradictions, fantasies, surprises, uncertainties, etc. There are six immature characteristics of adolescent thought proposed by Elkind:

  • Idealism and Criticalness: It is the situation in which they believe that they know better than other adults and consistently find faults in elders.
  • Argumentativeness: It is the case in which they constantly look for situations to test their reasoning abilities.
  • Indecisiveness: It is the case in which they are not able to make an effective strategy.
  • Apparent Hypocrisy: They are not able to differentiate between situations in which they need to sacrifice something.
  • Self Consciousness: The belief that they are being judged and observed constantly by people.
  • Specialness and Invulnerability: The belief that someone/something is unique or special.

Hence, we conclude that assertiveness is not a form of immaturity of thinking during adolescence as proposed by Elkind.
