| Description | In the present study we want to continue exploring adolescents' ways of thinking about themselves and understanding their needs related to self in the following aspects: need for self-expression, being oneself, need for authenticity, etc. Some preliminary findings show to us that good relationships wishes are most frequently expressed by girls (this trend is more evident in middle adolescence). Girls present a higher percentage than boys in the categories called need for long-term achievement and hedonistic needs. The adolescents (girls and boys) perceive the importance of self-satisfaction and need for self-expression and prefer situations in which they are presented with a choice and have the opportunity to express themselves freely. Our goal was mainly explorative and heuristic, we focused on the uncovering of the connections and deeper relationships within this topic. |
