What was margaret mead’s research question in coming of age in samoa

Answer 1

Explanation: In 1925, Margaret Mead journeyed to the South Pacific territory of American Samoa. She sought to discover whether adolescence was a universally traumatic and stressful time due to biological factors or whether the experience of adolescence depended on one's cultural upbringing.

Answer 2

Coming of Age in Samoa.

Based on her study of 68 girls in three villages in the western part of Ta'u island, Mead reported that adolescence was not a stressful time, compared with the expectation of adolescent “storm and stress” in Western societies. She attributed this difference to cultural factors.
