Age Self-Schemas of Teenagers

Abstract

In the article the results of the empirical research of the structure and content of age self-schemas of teenagers are presented. The results show that the basic components of the age self-schemas are generalized ideas about the age. They include the relations with the opposite sex, their appearance and plans for the future. The leading tendency of the age self-schemas is to build a life perspective. The relationship between the force of the age schematic processing and the subjective age is proved.
