Abstract
This paper examines salient developmental characteristics of adolescents and beginning parents. In the case of many teenage parents, specific developmental tasks of adolescence affect and may potentially conflict with the tasks of early parenthood. A conceptual framework is presented which describes this conflict and serves as the basis for examining and explaining certain unique behaviors observed in young adolescent parents.Keywords: Adolescent Pregnancy; Adolescents; Adolescents, Female; Age Factors; Behavior; Demographic Factors; Fertility; Interpersonal Relations; Models, Theoretical; Personality; Personality Development; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Psychological Factors; Psychology; Psychology, Social; Psychosocial Factors; Reproductive Behavior; Research Methodology; Social Behavior; Social Sciences; Stress; United States; Youth
