What are some factors that may have influenced G. Stanley Hall to designate age 24 as the end of adolescence?
What will be an ideal response?
For most adolescents of Hall's time, no significant transition took place at age 18. Education ended earlier, work began earlier, and leaving home took place later. Marriage and parenthood did not take place for most people until their early to mid-20s, which may have been why Hall designated age 24 as the end of adolescence.
