The Causes and Effects of Eighth-Grade Syndrome Throughout History

2  The Onset of Eighth-Grade Syndrome

The name “eighth-grade syndrome” derives from the common observed age of onset for the condition, that is, the age of the typical eighth grader, or 13. While the typical age of onset varies within the range 12 through 14, the average age of onset is 13, and the distribution is tight about this age.

The tightness of the distribution suggests a common cause for all cases of eighth-grade syndrome: one related to age and development. In this regard, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, one of the most influential theories in developmental psychology, provides an explanation for the common age of onset.

A  Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development and Eighth-Grade Syndrome

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development is a developmental stage theory, describing cognitive development in four distinct stages: the sensorimotor stage, the pre-operational stage, the concrete operational stage, and the formal operational stage. Each stage is associated with the development of specific abilities and is associated with a range of typical ages. Of these four stages, only the fourth is of concern with regard to eighth-grade syndrome.

The formal operational stage begins in adolescence and continues through adulthood, with a typical onset at age 11. In this stage, abstract thought and the ability to consider potential consequences emerge, allowing the adolescent to think of the future in a philosophic way. The adolescent’s transition into the stage often gives rise to two related conditions: the imaginary audience and the personal fable.

Together, these two conditions describe an adolescent’s growing self-consciousness. They are the beliefs that they are being watched by anything from individuals to the entire world, and as a result, that they are the focus of all attention. This leads to a belief that the adolescent is “different,” “unique,” or “special” compared to others, which results also in feelings of invulnerability. Existing research shows that these beliefs peak at age 13 and decline as the adolescent continues to develop.

While these appear to be the precise causes of eighth-grade syndrome due to the closely related ages between the onset of eighth-grade syndrome and the formal operational stage, they are not. The imaginary audience and personal fable are only cognitive distortions in which the adolescent believes that he or she is being watched, unique, and invulnerable. These beliefs alone do not give impetus for the symptoms of eighth-grade syndrome. Rather, it is the decline of these beliefs which triggers eighth-grade syndrome. A discussion of the mechanism by which this occurs is described in the following section.

A very fitting Lite. I’ve been sick all week, but I can’t take time off from work because of deadlines.

All right, maggots, listen up. I’m only gonna say this once, so you’d better grind it into that pile of dog shit you call a brain harder than I’d grind my neighbor’s wife’s pretty little posterior. Ooh-la-la.
First off, we’re subbing Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren and thems shorts that comes with ’em every week because I want to. It ain’t gonna be no cake walk, but you can be surer than I’d grind my cousin’s wife that it’s easier than getting her permission. You’d better thank those freaks in FFF Squadron for helping, you ingrateful maggots.
Second, you will not expect a release until 24 hours after broadcast has been completed. That’s 1600, Zulu, maggots. Grind that into that pile of camel vomit you call a brain and don’t ask questions. I got work to do, and it’s keeping me from grinding my brother-in-law’s sister’s former roommate’s terrific tushy, so you can be surer than hell that I’m not gonna do anything for your damn sake.
Third, Lites will be done as UTW Squadron because that’s how shit goes. Grind that into that hairy slime mold you call a brain like I’d grind my aunt’s cousin’s boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend’s daughter’s beautiful behind, and don’t ask questions, maggots.
Fourth, writing a post will never delay a release, maggots. Grind that into that stinking dung beetle carcass you call a brain and never ask if a post is delaying a release. This shit takes less than half an hour between missions to write, which is considerably more time than I could grind my aunt’s babysitter’s lesbian girlfriend’s uncle’s former roommate’s wife’s, but much less time than I could grind your sister’s rapturous rump. And just like a good grinding, it only comes with a moment’s divine inspiration. None of this shit is planned. Ever.
Got that maggots? Now get the hell back to work before I grind your ass too. Ooh-la-la.

Guten Wasserdrachen.

The Causes of Eighth-Grade Syndrome and Its Effects Throughout History

1  Introduction

Eighth-grade syndrome (known also as chūnibyō) has gained a singular popularity in recent times as a universally experienced phenomenon. Despite its generally accepted universal nature, and while the particular symptoms of the “disease” are easily recognized, a formal treatment of its causes and effects is conspicuously lacking. In this multi-part article, the psychological, philosophical, social, and cultural causes and effects of eighth-grade syndrome throughout history are explored.

The onset age of eighth-grade syndrome is first explained in terms of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. The underlying cause for the condition is then described in the context of terror management theory (TMT). The symptoms themselves are then described as a form of teenage rebellion and identity development. Finally, various historical, social, and cultural phenomena will be described in the context of eighth-grade syndrome.

An effort is made to provide for the reader without background in the applied psychology, philosophy, and history sufficient knowledge to understand the exploration. The provided background is in no way exhaustive, and the reader is encouraged to pursue further study in the topics discussed. Furthermore, the exploration provided is in no means exhaustive or authoritative; expansions, criticisms, and counterarguments are encouraged and welcome.

It must be noted that this article is planned only in a broad sense. The writing will be performed by sequence (front matter prior to content prior to end matter) rather than by significance (content prior to front matter and end matter) and only during the author’s brief idle intervals during the subtitling process each week. As such, some parts may be omitted during the initial publication if they are not completed prior to the publication deadline. Furthermore, the only source expected to be cited in the article will be the author’s memory of the bodies of knowledge mentioned in this article. A complete, edited version—with omissions restored and temporary notices (such as this paragraph) removed—will be published after the completion of the article.

It must also be stated that no part of this article is in any way intended to cause any offense to any parties, social, political, religious, or otherwise. The ideas are presented entirely in an academic sense. As with any theory, acceptance is a decision on the part of the individual.
