| Description | Our survey has resulted in finding that the adolescents long for a possibility of free self-expression as support and manifestation of ego. Lack of freedom, which comes from the social standards or authorities, is considered as restriction or manipulation. We noted differences between boys' and girls' answers. The girls are rather more able to accept other persons and they actualise themselves particularly in an "emotional concern"; they feel being responsible for the commitments in the sense of "being assigned to do something". The boys take much more realistic attitudes; success in the professional career is a significant value for them. |
