SE SOCIALISER PARMI SES PAIRS A L’ADOLESCENCE : CONTRIBUTION GENERALE ET SPECIFIQUE DES EXPERIENCES AMICALES, AMOUREUSES ET DE POPULARITE AUX DEVELOPPEMENTS SOCIAL ET CONATIF
Résumé
This thesis reports an overview of different studies that aim at identifying the contribution of peer relationships to psychosocial development. The first part highlights the social processes occurring in group socialization, friendships and romantic relationships in order to position them toward socialization coming from parents. The second part focuses on some psychosocial dimensions taking part into adolescents' development of autonomy: identity processes, selfdetermined motivation (for education and/or for romance), and problematic behaviors. The role granted to peers in the theories related to these constructs are scrutinized, especially in Erikson's theory about identity formation (1968) and in self-determination theory, firstly developed by Deci and Ryan (1985). Coming from studies on typical children and adolescents, the outcomes are also used to shed light on the development of atypical youths, disabled or gifted. That constitutes one perspective in the renewal of my research interests. The other outlined perspectives aim at better taking into consideration the numerical upgrade of peer relationships, by examining friendship processes, electronic popularity and courting on social networks. These upcoming studies will use a longitudinal design to track the evolution of the psychosocial processes.
