Youth Development. In A Winter’s Tale, Xxxxxxxxxxx’s Shepherd laments: I would there were no age between sixteen and three-and-twenty, or that youth would sleep out the rest; for there is nothing in the between but getting wenches with child, wronging the ancientry, stealing, fighting. (2010 3.3.58-71, p.370) This sentiment evokes an understanding of youth development that can be traced, in social research, to the early work of Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx (1904). Xxxx characterises adolescence as a phase of ‘some ancient storm and stress when old moorings were broken and a higher level attained’ (n/p). By the 1950s, research into youth development challenged this ‘storm and stress’ model, arguing that young people are typically governed by less violent passions and, in general, enjoy more positive relationships with their parents, are reasonably happy, and follow social norms and rules (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx 1957; Offer 1969; Offer 1975; Xxxxxxx 1978). Despite this, the picture of young people engaged in ‘wronging the ancientry’ has continued to influence the popular imagination (Xxxxxx, 1999, 2006b).
