What |Triggers |Puberty? |- |correct |answer |-1. |Leptin
Leptin |- |correct |answer |-One |possible |trigger |for |puberty.

Two |main |pubertal |subsystems |- |correct |answer |-1. |The |HPG |Axis: |Stands |for |Hypothalamus, |Pituitary, |and |Gonads |
-Within |Both |systems, |the |Hypothalamus |acts |like |a |hormonal |thermostat, |sometimes |referred |to |as |a |"gonadostat" |-its |regulating |hormones |in |the |blood |stream.
HPA |Axis |- |correct |answer |-The |start |of |puberty, |secondary |characteristics, |starts |before |HPG |and |is |related |to |hormones.
-Development |of: |Pubic |hair, |armpit |hair, |and |acne |for |both |girls |and |boys.
HPG |Axis |- |correct |answer |-Occurs |after |the |HPA |axis, |Gonads |release |estrogen |for |females |and |androgen |for |males.

The |tempo |- |correct |answer |-the |speed |of |all |pubertal |events
Timing |of |Puberty |vs |Tempo |- |correct |answer |-THERE |IS |NO |RELATIONSHIP |BETWEEN |THE |TWO

-Much |of |the |research |has |been |conducted |on |twins |looking |at |concordance |rates
-Inherited |predisposition, |not |fixed |absolute
-monozygotic |twins |related |more |than |dizygotic |twins
-The |healthier |and |more |well |fed |you |are, |the |more |likely |you'll |mature |earlier |(Energetics |Theory)
-Unusually |heightened |levels |of |chronic |stress |is |associated |with |earlier |onset

-Elkind- |no, |it |reflects |incomplete |mental |growth |in |this |area
Pseudostupidity |- |correct |answer |--Failing |at |tasks |due |to |seeing |them |as |more |complex |than |their |design |
-Due |to |seeing |multiple |perspectives, |but |inability |to |correctly |prioritize |them

-The |peer |effect
Behavioral |Decision |Theory |- |correct |answer |-We |want |to |minimize |cost |and |maximize |gains |when |making |a |decision.
The |peer |effect |- |correct |answer |-Teens |are |more |likely |to |engage |in |risk |taking |behaviors |when |they |are |with |friends |rather |than |alone. |

Self-Focus |- |correct |answer |--This |is |the |most |self-focused |point |of |life, |which |involves |the |fewest |ties |that |entail |daily |obligations |and |commitments |to |others. |
- |Compare |to |the |obligations |of |children, |adolescents, |and |adults |

Kohlberg's |Theory |of |Morality |- |correct |answer |--Lawrence |Kohlberg |presented |his |participants |with |hypothetical |moral |dilemmas, |asked |them |to |make |a |judgement |and |explain |their |reasons |for |their |decision |
-Whether |a |person |judged |the |actions |of |the |main |character |in |the |dilemma |as |right |or |wrong |was |not |important. |Rather, |their |reasoning |for |the |judgement |was |key |to |determining |stage |of |moral |reasoning

-Example |response |to |Heinz |Dilemma: |"It's |a |natural |thing |for |Heinz |to |want |to |save |his |wife, |but.. |Even |if |his |wife |is |dying |its |still |his |duty |as |a |citizen |to |obey |the |law. |No |one |else |is |allowed |to |steal, |why |should |he |be? |If |everyone |starts |breaking |the |law |in |a |jam, |there'd |be |no |civilization |just |crime |and |violence."
Example |response |to |Heinz |Dilemma: |"Laws |are |only |valid |insofar |as |they |are |grounded |in |justice. |A |commitment |to |justice |carries |with |it |an |obligation |to |disobey |unjust |laws. |Property |has |little |meaning |without |life. |Heinz |did |the |right |thing. |However, |the |judge |should |weigh |the |moral |standpoint |more |heaviliy |yet |preserve |the |legal |law |in |punishing |Heinz |lightly."
