Explanation

Adolescent learners show increased emotional sensitivity, a strong need for social belonging, cognitive development for abstract thinking and emotional variability.

Heightened emotional sensitivity marks adolescence, with intense and shifting feelings.

A strong need for social belonging drives peer orientation and identity formation.

Cognitive development for abstract thinking lets adolescents reason with ideas and possibilities.

Emotional variability reflects the fluctuating moods typical of this stage.

A high level of self-discipline is not typical of adolescents, since self-regulation is still developing.

Piaget placed abstract reasoning in the formal operational stage that begins in adolescence.
