If earlier scientists worried because of excessive early-maturing children, now the situation has changed dramatically. Studies show that American experts, the current teens lag behind in development compared with their peers from previous generations. They do not want to grow up and take responsibility. Such conclusions were made by scientists from the University of San Diego.
Test objects became 8.3 Mill. boys and girls aged 13 to 19 years between 1976 and 2012. The results showed that the rate of development of today's youth has significantly decreased. Today's young people do not tend to grow up and prefer to stay longer under the care of adults. They are in no hurry to sit behind the wheel and go on a trip without their parents, as well as to look for a way to earn money.
The same applies to sexual maturation. Young people do not want to go on a romantic date, and do not enter into an intimate relationship unlike their peers from the past generations.
Scientists have compared the rate of maturation, as well as leisure teenagers of the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s and 1970s. Their findings are unequivocal - modern teenagers are less interested in the usual trappings of adulthood, that is, to work, go on dates, drink alcohol, have sex than boys and girls from the past generations.
This phenomenon scientists explain in the first development in the past 20 years the Internet: self-realization in a virtual world replaces the need for young people "to become on its feet" real.
The researchers also point out that significant infantilism youth observed in recent years, they are not customized live separately, to earn money and lead a life, and want to stay longer on the provision in parents. Scientists attribute this to the fact that increases the overall length of human life, as well as increased childbearing age - most couples prefer to marry and have children at a later age.
And we invite you to learn unexpected findings of scientists on the subject of how to dress up happy people.
