How did Gisela Labouvie-Vief view the distinction between adolescent thinking and emerging adulthood thinking?
What will be an ideal response?
She felt that there was greater recognition and incorporation of practical limitations to logical thinking. In this view, adolescents exaggerate the extent to which logical thinking will be effective in real life. In contrast, emerging adulthood brings a growing awareness of how social factors and factors specific to a given situation must be taken into account for approaching most of real life's problems.
