Abstract

Culture provides unique resources to support youth in navigating developmental changes during adolescence. This article starts with an introduction of the conceptualization of culture and reviews adolescents' adjustment from different cultures, including academic adjustment, psychological health, and externalizing problems. We further discuss the role of culturally guided social contexts, including family, peers, and schools, in adolescents' development. Future directions regarding the role of culture in positive youth development, adolescents' brain development, social media use and impact, and multiple understudied realms of social contexts including sibling relationships are discussed. Lastly, we offer recommendations about the use of new technology in culture and adolescent research.
