Abstract:

The increasing complexity of the process of adolescents growing up in modern society creates conditions for the relevance of psychological research into individual variations of this process.

Using a sample of 236 schoolchildren aged 12–17 years using the personal adapted questionnaires 16HSPQ, Big5 and the author’s questionnaire “Age-status self-awareness of a teenager,”
it was revealed that adolescents with different types of age-status self-awareness are characterized by different personality traits.
