 Social Emotions
Social emotions, such as envy, embarrassment, shame, guilt, and pride, emerge in toddlers
(15-24 months) and can affect learning and memory. Emotional competence develops over
time, allowing children to regulate emotions and understand others' emotions. Girls are
more skilled in regulating emotions, but are more likely to experience anxiety, depression,
and both negative and positive interactions with family and friends.
Adolescents often experience stress from relationships and school pressure, leading to
stereotypes of moodiness and poor emotion control. However, studies suggest other
emotions, such as boredom, tiredness, and social discomfort, are also common. High school
teachers should address the needs of teenagers who are chronically unhappy or moody.
 The Adolescent and
Social Media
Adolescents have easy access to various media and social
media, including computers, cell phones, and the internet.
However, electronic communication negatively affects their
social development, leading to impaired social skills and unsafe
interactions. Girls are particularly vulnerable to online
socializing, while boys in internet cafes may lower their
academic achievement. Socially insecure teens become victims
rather than beneficiaries of digital gadgets.
Implication to adolescent care
education and parenting
Emotional skills significantly impact adolescent
success in class work. Teachers and schools can
reduce emotional distress, improve test scores, and
promote positive changes. Addressing peer pressure,
social media, drug use, and early sexual adventurism
can help adolescents focus on risky behavior and
promote positive development.
