Abstract
Aim . The purpose of the study is to identify the ideas of people of different ages and cultural affiliation about the age limits of youth. Methodology . The study was conducted by means of a diagnostic battery, the author’s questionnaire included, as well as questions about the lower and upper limits of youth. Results . The analysis demonstrates that in the views of the study participants the total duration of youth is a relatively stable value, and its lower and upper limits are “tied” to a certain age. A significant relationship between ideas about the boundaries of youth and ideas about individual psychological characteristics of youth is observed in all selected age and socio-cultural subgroups. Research implications . The study shows for the first time that in minds of people of different ages and socio-cultural affiliation, ideas about the chronological boundaries of youth are significantly interrelated with ideas about psychological characteristics that either contribute to or hinder the transition from youth to adulthood. The obtained results can be used in psychological counseling within the framework of solving problems of self-determination and self-development.
