AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of the adolescent socialization process of the Hopi girl. Schlegel points out that this is a period of crisis for the girl: a period of strained relations with her mother, moodiness and unpredictability and fear that she will be rejected by a lover. Although the Hopi girl follows a set life plan and is subjected to no cultural dilemmas, yet the crisis she goes through is similar to that of her counterpart in Western adolescent society. According to the author this is due in large part not to similar socialization pressures, but rather to socialization pressures of quite a different form but of equal intensity (p. 449). These pressures are described more fully in the text.
