“…Further, certain patterns of specificity in planning have been observed, in that depressed adolescents report generally less specific goal plans, while anxious adolescents report lower specificity in approach plans (Dickson & MacLeod, 2004a). Self-efficacy has been found to be strongly related to probability estimates of educational, occupational and family goals occurring (Trempała & Malmberg, 1998). Similarly, other studies have shown that higher self-esteem was related to more internal control beliefs regarding the future (Nurmi & Pulliainen, 1991) greater goal progress (Pinquart, Silbereisen & Wiesner, 2004) and greater probability estimations of attaining family and education goals (Malmberg, 2002).…”

a b s t r a c tThe aim of this article is to provide an overview and discussion of the literature from various areas of psychology on adolescent goal content and pursuit since the publication of Nurmi's review in 1991. Ninety-four studies were identified which incorporated a measure of adolescent goal content/processes. We explore and discuss the theories employed in these studies, methods of goal measurement, and the findings presented in the studies. Adolescent goal content and pursuit appear to be influenced by various sociodemographic and psychological factors. In turn, goal content, goal pursuit and (un)successful goal attainment are related to adolescent behavior, health and well-being. Limitations and suggestions for further research are discussed.

“…Researches in Finland and Poland (Trempala & Malmberg, 1998), North America (Arnett, 2003), Israel (Mayseless & Scharf, 2003), Argentina (Facio, Resett, Micocci, & Mistrorigo, 2007), Austria (Sirsch, Dreher, Mayr & Willinger, 2009) and Greece (Petrogiannis, 2011) showed that culture and nationality have a distinct effect on emerging adults' view on adulthood. Other researches have also highlighted how the perception one has of him/ herself as still a youth and/or already an adult is related to age, gender, marital status and the level of education received (Buhl, 2007;Fadjukoff, Kokko & Pulkinnen, 2007;Fierro & Hernández, 2007;Lanz & Tagliabue, 2007;Macek, Bejcek & Vanýckova, 2007).…”

Abstract:The purpose of this study was (a) to identify the criteria Italian and Dutch emerging adults consider important to achieve adulthood; (b) to compare Italian emerging adults' criteria with the criteria espoused by Dutch emerging adults; and (c) to examine how these criteria might differ on the basis of the working status (temporary job contract vs. permanent job contract) of the participants. Participants included 111 Italian (M age = 25) and 151 Dutch (M age = 22) university working students. Results revealed that (a) on average, Italian and Dutch emerging adults agreed upon the same order of importance for the criteria of adulthood presented to them; (b) Italian participants, more than Dutch participants, considered particularly important for defining the adult status the criteria related to family capacities; and (c) taking into account the working status of the participants, the answers differed only approaching significance. These findings have important implications for future research as they evidence that emerging adults experience their path to adulthood differently depending on their nationality. Specifically, the main contribution of this study is to have tested such hypotheses in a cross-national manner where contextual and individual differences are both taken into account.

Udeleženci so bili italijanski (M = 25 let) in nizozemski (M = 22 let) študenti v delovnem razmerju. Rezultati so pokazali, da (a) se v povprečju italijanski in nizozemski mladi odrasli strinjajo o pomembnosti kriterijev za doseganje odraslosti; (b) so italijanski mladi odrasli, v primerjavi z nizozemskimi, večjo pomembnost pripisovali kriterijem, ki so povezani z zmožnostjo ustvarjanja družine; (c) da so razlike v povezavi z zaposlitvenim statusom bile zgolj na meji statistične pomembnosti. Dobljeni rezultati imajo pomembne implikacije za prihodnje študije, saj dokazujejo, da mladi odrasli različno dojemajo kriterije za doseganje odraslosti v odvisnosti od narodnosti. Natančneje je glavni doprinos raziskave v preverjanju naših domnev v dveh državah, kjer smo hkrati upoštevali tako kontekstualne kot individualne razlike.Ključne besede: prehod v odraslost, merila odraslosti, zaposlitveni status, Italija, Nizozemska

“…Just as the justice perception of society affects goal setting, political or economic stability also can influence temporal orientation. For example, the future‐oriented behavior of members of a society is affected by political instability (Trempala & Malmberg, 1998). Individuals who reside in politically unstable nations focus on immediate problem solving and realistic solutions.…”

Economic inequality is worsening worldwide and is associated with various social problems. Although research on inequality has been conducted in various academic fields, research on how perceived inequality affects individual decision making is relatively limited in the marketing field. Recognizing this gap, this study examines how perceived economic inequality can affect individual behavior and decision making from the perspective of time frame. The results of four studies reveal that perceived economic inequality can induce present‐oriented behavior and suggest that perceived economic mobility accounts for this relationship. This study demonstrates that present‐oriented and shortsighted behaviors, which are usually considered characteristics of the poor, can occur due to the perceptions of the environment beyond class. It implies that the macro level of economic inequality can influence an individual's decision making at the micro level.
