Great Expectations: Constructions of the Life Course during Adolescence.

Greene, A. L.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v19 n4 p289-306 Aug 1990

Samples of 52 high school students and 52 college students were interviewed to determine whether subjects' anticipations about their future correspond to demographic trends that were previously observed. Adolescents acquire a shared life course perspective that is richer and more differentiated than that implied by previous investigations. (TJH)
