选项 A、psychological
B、physical
C、spiritual
D、bodily
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。句子指出：如今青少年的"标准"文化包含那些非常肮脏的内容，以至于父母从孩子的谈话、穿着、在音乐、电影以及电子游戏方面的嗜好中很难辨别什么意味着孩子有心理方面的问题，什么只是时代的特征。从本段首句中的peer competition、bulling和rejection可知，这些都是容易造成孩子心理问题的因素，因此这里选用psychological符合上下文语境。physical和bodily意为"身体的"，根据常识可知，孩子之所以成为杀人犯不会是由于身体的问题，通常是由心理问题造成的，故排除physical和bodily。spiritual意为"精神上的"，这个词对应的是material，主要强调非物质方面的东西。句中提到青春期孩子改变的原因时并未具体强调这些因素与物质因素无关，因此此处不使用spiritual，而是选择含义更广的psychological。
