| Description | The study deals with the occurrence and transformations of fear in the period of early adolescence. Using the method of free testimonies, the study maps the contend aspect of fear of 11-year-old an 13-year-old children; furthermore, it follows the number and contents of fear in dependence on respondent's gender and age. The difference between boys and girls in the reported number of fears was found only at the age of 11 years; boys reported a slightly lower number of fears than girls.
