dc.abstract.plThis longitudinal study was aimed at exploring the characteristics of the vision of one’s adult life in adolescents and emerging adults, and investigating changes in this vision during both the last year of secondary school and university education. In the first measurement, 299 youths aged 17 to 27 participated, and 177 took part in the second measurement. Participants were asked to write about their envisioned future adult life. Trained judges coded participants’ written answers to allow for quantitative analyses and examine both the content and the structure of youth’s vision of their adult life. The results indicated that youths had moderately extended and rather superficial vision of their future adult life. The most frequently represented and most comprehensively described aspects of future life included work, intimate relationships, and place of residence. In addition, gender and age-related differences were observed. In many cases, the shape of the vision of one’s adult life described by youths was rooted in stereotypical patterns of gender roles. Finally, youths’ vision of their adult life seemed to be somewhat unstable during the last year of education in high school and university.
