Give an example of how formal operational thinking allow adolescents to become very good at arguing or debating with their parents? Use your own example or outline what an adolescent might say to a parent who told her child to be home by midnight
after the prom.
What will be an ideal response?
Now that adolescents have a more sophisticated way of thinking, they are able to come up with many arguments to support their position. For example, hypothetico-deductive thinking allows them to consider a number of possibilities, so they might argue that anything they could do after curfew that would get them in trouble they could just as easily do before the curfew. They might explain that they have made good decisions in the past and that they could agree to call home if there is a problem. They might even use guilt by arguing that not allowing them to stay out means they don't trust them.
