Abstract：
The field of developmental science explores the rich interplay between individuals and their contexts, which dynamically shift across time and place. In Asia, context-specific research and practice are essential for promoting culturally relevant program and policy approaches to improving adolescent well-being. This involves critically examining how localized social structures and power dynamics shape individual experiences and outcomes. The landscape for Asian adolescents today differs significantly from that of previous generations due to rapid changes in these structures, and societal transformation has created the opportunity for traditional and modern values to coexist. This commentary draws across articles from this special issue to describe the dynamics of adolescent-context relations across diverse Asian contexts using developmental science methods. This includes interrogating risk factors, opportunities, and trajectories for adolescents growing up in non-Western settings while also questioning the application of Western, adult-centric discourses on adolescent well-being globally.
摘要：
发展科学领域探索了个人与其环境之间的丰富相互作用，它在时间和地点上动态地移动。在亚洲,针对特定环境的研究和实践对于促进与文化相关的计划和政策方法以改善青少年福祉至关重要。这涉及到批判性地检查本地化的社会结构和权力动态如何塑造个人经历和结果。由于这些结构的快速变化，今天亚洲青少年的景观与前几代人的明显不同，社会转型为传统和现代价值观共存创造了机会。本评论借鉴了本期特刊的文章，使用发展科学方法描述了亚洲不同背景下青少年与环境关系的动态。这包括询问风险因素，机遇,以及在非西方环境中成长的青少年的轨迹，同时也质疑西方的应用，全球以成人为中心的青少年福祉论述。
