1. Have you ever considered the changes that are taking place and will take place
in your life as a college student? Has it ever occurred to you that your professors and
other school personnel have certain goals for your growth and maturity during your
college
years?
Has
it
ever
dawned
on
you
that
certain
developmental
changes
will
occur in your life as you move from adolescence to young adulthood? Though college
students seldom think about them, key changes will probably happen to them during
their college years.

你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化你可
曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标你可
曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化尽管大学生很少想这
些,但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化?/p>
2.During
this
time,
students
are
going
through
an
identity
crisis
and
are
endeavoring
to
find
out
who
they
are
and
what
their
strengths
and
weaknesses
are.
They
have,
of
course,
plenty
of
both.
It
is
important
to
know
how
people
perceive
themselves as well as how other people perceive them. According to Piers and Landau,
in an article discussing the theories of Erik H. Erickson in International Encyclopedia
of
Social
Sciences
(1979),
identity
is
determined
by
genetic
endowment
(what
is
inherited
from
parents),
shaped
by
environment,
and
influenced
by
chance
events.
People are influenced by their environment and, in turn, influence their environment.
How people see themselves in both roles is unquestionably a part of their identity.

在这段时期,学生们正经受自我认同危机,他们努力要了解自己的身份,
掌握自身的优缺点。当然,优缺点他们兼而有之,且两者都为数不少。重要的?/p>
人们如何看待自己?/p>
其他人又如何看待他们?/p>
皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨
了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论,根据他们的观点,性格特征是由
先天基因(即父母的遗传物质)所决定,由外部环境而形成,并受偶然事件的影
响的?/p>
人们受环境的影响?/p>
反过来也影响他们的环境?/p>
人们如何看待自己扮演?/p>
这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现?/p>
