Abstract
This qualitative study investigates adolescents’ perceptions and psychological needs regarding the future in the perspective of reality therapy. Employing a case study design as a qualitative research method, the study reached a total of 181 adolescent participants, including 125 (69.1%) girls and 56 (39.1%) boys. The data obtained from participants were analyzed using thematic analysis by the researchers. As a result of the analysis, their perceptions of the future were categorized into two themes: “Future Perception” and “Future-Oriented WDEP System.” Additionally, it is observed that they formulated various metaphors related to psychological needs. Adolescents’ perceptions of the future encompass both positive emotions, thoughts, and actions, as well as negative expressions. The findings of this research provide insights for developmental experts and mental health professionals in understanding the psychological needs and future perceptions of individuals during the crucial stage of adolescence.
