The dialectical thought of adulthood sees the middle-ground in things, while the dichotomous thought of adolescence see things as either/or.

Formal operational thought, defined by the capacity to think abstractly, was propounded by Piaget.There are two primary modes of thinking abstractly. One is the dichotomous thought, in which the ideas internalized by a person become the standard by which she measures reality.

This is typical of adolescence. They think in terms of dichotomies: things are either good or bad, right or wrong, etc., and there is no middle-ground.

The other is dialectical thought, and it is learned as one graduates to adulthood. Here, a person is able to reconcile opposing and contrasting views and ideas. This is more attune to reality and therefore practical, as things often are not entirely good or desirable, and neither are they completely bad or undesirable.

Carl Rogers theory about the unconditional positive regard explains that parents love or appreciate their children for a condition like if they get good scores then the parents will love and praise them etc other wise not.
