This article reports on the Vision of personal future scale (vpf), an instrument
aimed to assess cognitive clearness, conviction in realization, and the
self-directedness of adolescents’ envisioning of their personal future. The
13-item scale was applied on 1,969 Serbian adolescents with the aim of exploring
general aspects of their anticipations of their personal future. Results
show that adolescents highlight the motivational and guiding potential
of their own vision of the future. Two factor structures were extracted
(namedmotivational optimistic and cognitive fearful), but each factor was
emphasized differently by adolescents. The usefulness of the scale was discussed
in the context of youth work and the creation of specific programs
aimed to support youth development.
