Preface
Adolescence and Puberty is the third volume in the Kinsey Institute Se-
ries. In each volume, researchers from a wide range of academic disci-
plines draw on their own data and on the viewpoints of their own area
of expertise to address the central issues in a specific arena of dis-
course. The chapters for each volume were written after the contribu-
tors participated in a Kinsey Symposium on the topic. As a result, they
reflect the diverse perspectives that emerge during sustained discus-
sions among colleagues from many different fields. The editors of each
volume provided an introduction based on the full range of discussions
at the Symposium and the contents of the final contributions. This
overview highlights the central themes and research findings of the
volume as well as major issues for future consideration.
We would like to acknowledge the support of Indiana University.

posium and for helping to prepare this book. We also thank Joan Bos-

ADOLESCENCE AND PUBERTY
This page intentionally left blank
Introduction
John Bancroft
The purpose of The Kinsey Institute Series is to examine issues relating
to sex, gender, and reproduction that require an interdisciplinary ap-
proach. Adolescence is a prime example of such an issue. It is the stage
of development at which the individual is capable of reproduction, re-
organizes and reasserts gender, and displays the early unfolding of the
sexual adult—a time of complex and often obscure interaction between
biological and sociopsychological influences.
The Symposium on Adolescence and Puberty was the third in the
series and took place November 20-23, 1986, at The Kinsey Institute,
Indiana University, Bloomington. There were nineteen scientists rep-
resenting ten different disciplines. The program allowed considerable
time for discussion, which has been taken into account by the authors
in preparing their final manuscripts.
Inevitably, we have sampled only a few of the key issues of adoles-
cence, but they do provide a broad scope. The chapters can be catego-
rized under the following headings:
1. Factors influencing the onset of puberty
2. The interactive effect of hormonal and social influences on the
emergence of adolescent sexuality
3. Emotional changes associated with adolescence
4. Patterns of adolescent sexual behavior in cross-cultural per-
spective
5. Legal aspects of the adolescent role
