摘要：Required to manage multiple developmental tasks, multiple systems and
processes are involved in making adolescents thinking about and making
plans for the future. The current study aims at exploring the manner in which
individual (optimism, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and selfconcept)
and contextual factors (family and peer influences) contribute
to the construction of adolescents’ future expectations. 1509 youth (891
females and 618 males) with different socio-economical backgrounds were
questioned using an online platform. Compared with their counterparts,
girls, adolescents who were not experiencing severe material deprivation,
those with high self-concept, displaying little depressive symptoms, and
high level of optimism have more positive future expectations. As most of
the available empirical data come from Western countries, these results
complement the existing data in the area of emerging adulthood.
