Love is all you need? Focusing on adolescents' life concerns from an ecological point of view
Article Abstract:
Research into life concerns among a sample of young people in a rural area in the centre of Sweden has established that adolescents have a range of worries. The intensity of these worries differs between age groups and genders. Concerns about peer acceptance seem to emerge earlier than previous research has indicated, while concerns about love emerge later than was previously believed. There is no peak at any age in concerns about relationships with parents.
