6. Individuals become more introspective in adolescence and even more so in emerging adulthood, this self-understanding is not completely internal; rather, self-understanding is a social cognitive construction. That is, adolescents' and emerging adults' developing cognitive capacities interact with their sociocultural experiences to influence their self-understanding. 油 Adolescence varies with culture, however in North America adolescence begins at approximately 10 to 13 years until 18 to 22 years. Emerging adulthood occurs from approximately 18 to 25 years. Sources: 油 Santrock, John W. Adolescence 12th ed. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2008. 油 Harter, S.
