Abstract
Human societies have always marked the attainment of life's major milestones with rites of passage [ [1] van Gennep A. The rites of passage. 2nd ed. University of Chicago Press, Chicago2019 Crossref Google Scholar ]. These major milestones are universal across cultures and include birth, the transition to adulthood, and death [ [2] Janusz B. Walkiewicz M. The rites of passage framework as a matrix of transgression processes in the life course. J Adult Dev. 2018; 25: 151-159 Crossref PubMed Scopus (7) Google Scholar ]. The life stage that encompasses the transition to adulthood is adolescence. Illustrating the complexity of adolescence, Anne C. Petersen has described it as “the period of life that begins in biology and ends in society” [ [3] Petersen A.C. Adolescent development. Annu Rev Psychol. 1988; 39: 583-607 Crossref PubMed Scopus (381) Google Scholar ]. Although adolescence begins with the physical changes known as puberty, adolescence encompasses a myriad of social, cognitive, and behavioral changes that—when successful—culminates in an emotionally intelligent, productive member of society [ [3] Petersen A.C. Adolescent development. Annu Rev Psychol. 1988; 39: 583-607 Crossref PubMed Scopus (381) Google Scholar ].
