Transcript text: adolescents are liked by some of their peers and disliked by others.
Solution
Answer
The answer is Controversial.
Explanation
Option 1: Deferential
Deferential adolescents are those who show respect and submission to others. This term does not fit the context of being liked by some peers and disliked by others.
Option 2: Neglected
Neglected adolescents are those who receive little attention from their peers, neither liked nor disliked. This does not match the description of being both liked and disliked.
Option 3: Conflicted
Conflicted adolescents might experience internal or external conflicts, but this term does not specifically address the social dynamics of being liked by some and disliked by others.
Option 4: Controversial
Controversial adolescents are those who are liked by some peers and disliked by others. This term accurately describes the social situation presented in the question.
