What is the difference between "puberty" and "adolescence?" puberty is a psychosocial concept; adolescence is a biological concept. puberty is a biological concept; adolescence is a psychosocial concept. puberty happens first, followed by adolescence. there is no difference; they are the same thing?
Well that's a tough one....they are extremely similar. But, you can go through puberty and not be in adolescense yet. Soooo.....I don't think they are exactly the same
