摘要：Within the survey “Needs and Problems of the Youth” which was conducted during the 11th Summer School of Psychology on a stratified sample of young people in Croatia (n=1905), the “Questionnaire of Problems” was applied. The survey investigated the prominence of problems divided into 11 groups – (1) concern about future, (2) lack of social events and opportunities, (3) educational problems, (4) specific problems of local communities, (5) problems with gaining independence, (6) personal dissatisfaction, (7) problems with intimate relations, (8) existential crisis, (9) problems connected with addictions, (10) problems with family relations, and (11) dissatisfaction with peer relations. The sample presented the following three as the most prominent groups of problems: "concern about future”, “lack of social events and options” and “educational problems”. Although comparison of results with regard to age, sex, vocation, regional distribution and war experiences showed a variation in prominence of certain groups of problems, we found no evidence that the variables significantly affected the hierarchy of priority problems.
