Preferred term

decision making among adolescents  

Definition

  • Are adolescents competent decision makers? Do they have the skills necessary for good decision making? Are adolescents' decision-making processes different than adults'? These are questions society has increasingly been confronted with. From decisions regarding adolescents' reproductive health to questions of criminal responsibility, adolescents' decision making has been a topic of interest to psychologists and policymakers alike.
