| Description | The study deals with generativity in young adulthood. It is examined in the context of comprehensive model of psychosocial functioning in the first half of young adulthood. The sample consisted of 135 persons (95 women, 18-31 years), who completed online questionnaires regarding generative concern (LGS), generative action (GBC), current generativity (Gen-Current), perception of parents (POPS), dimensions of emerging adulthood (IDEA), social self-regulation (Social SOC), self-efficacy (GSES), self-esteem (RSES) and other areas (religion, volunteering, etc.). Volunteers achieved higher levels of generative concern. Other demographic characteristics did not show differences in generativity level. For generative concern and current generativity, we found relationship with all observed variables; generative action correlated only with self-efficacy and social self-regulation. Included variables explain 44.8% of the variability of generative concern, 38.6% of current generativity, and only 13.7% of generative action. |
