Abstract

The adolescent's development of a self concept is "one of life's most burning issues," Ostrander says. Norms or a personal frame of reference are critical to the development of a self concept. How different are Extension's youth program norms from those norms already held by the potential youth audience? Ostrander offers several suggestions for work with adolescent groups using knowledge of norms as a starting place.
