Adolescent Engagement

Adolescent Engagement is a theoretical construct within the field of developmental psychology that denotes the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral investment of individuals between the ages of 10 and 19 in educational, social, or community activities, distinguishing it from broader constructs of youth or adult engagement by its focus on the distinct psychosocial and neurodevelopmental characteristics of adolescence.
