Description
Summary:This study addresses sociocultural variations of adolescents' subjective image of the future, or future orientation. Analysis of the responses-bf Israeli Druze, Arab and Jewish male adolescents (N = 152) to an open-ended, future orientation questionnaire partly supports the hypotheses that Druze adolescents will express fewer concerns regarding the future (salience), describe their concerns with less detail and concreteness (specificity) and that the importance of each future orientation domain relative to the other domains (density) will be different for Druze than for Arab and Jewish adolescents. Results are interpreted in terms of modernity (Jews) versus early and advanced stages of transition to modernity (Druzes and Arabs, respectively) and suggest that the intervening intrapersonal process explaining Druze future orientation involves alignment with powerful agents and related secondary control beliefs.
