Explanation : Hero worshipping is a very prominent
characteristic of an adolescent learner. They
emulate in every way the role model they
choose to look up to; for, everything about
the hero appeals to them. As they emulate
their role model's social behavior, actions
and preferences, their own social and
moral understanding undergoes change,
accordingly.
Adolescent learner's characteristics of
tendency to be away from parents, mixing
up with peers in the neighborhood
or identity crisis are less significant
contributors to social moral development.
