Pragmatism and identity crises during the personal development of adolescents. Case Study

This paper includes the results of a research that aimed to investigate, on a sample of high school students in Romania, the relationship between school employing, the results obtained by them in school and the choice of attitudes-values with major moral and social impact. The research results show a polarization of high school students' interest in continuing their studies in academia. The percentage of girls who intend to pursue bachelor's and master's studies is almost 50% higher than that of boys. Also, the percentage of students with very good learning outcomes correlates with that of respondents who see continuing their studies as the best way to successfully continue the course of personal development.
