Interrelația maturității sociale și identității profesionale la adolescenți în perioada crizei identității profesionale

Abstract

In this study we aim to theoretically and applicatively elucidate two fundamental concepts: the concept of „professional identity” and the notion of „social maturity”. The research empirically establishes the link between social maturity and professional identity in teenagers during the professional identity crisis. The multidisciplinary approach of this study contributes to a deeper and integrated understanding of how personal values influence the professional and social development of young people. The study includes a sample of 250 teenagers and uses three assessment tools. The analysis of the obtained results shows that 35.6% represent the participants with a clearly formed professional identity, 20% show optimal social maturity. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating professional and social education within personal and professional development programs.
