Abstract

In recent years, research on the connotation, structure, formation mechanism, and cultivation of the sense of responsibility has yielded some beneficial results. However, there are still many issues in the definition of concepts, structural division, demarcation of research scope, and selection of research methods. This article comprehensively reviews the research status of adolescents' sense of responsibility in China, with the expectation of deepening the related research on the cultivation of adolescents' sense of responsibility.
