Life-purpose orientations of individual perspectives.
Abstract
For the research, the life perspectives of three age groups were chosen according to the following sociodemographic criteria: gender, employment situation, education, and marital status, to identify the psychological characteristics of the meaning formation perspectives, obtaining as an indicator the "Sense of life orientations". A correlation analysis is presented for each age group. The results confirmed the hypothesis that gender influences life outcomes, and that education level influences life prospects. The research helps to socialize in society and offers greater satisfaction with self-realization and more freedom for the persons to choose building their life according to goals and objectives.
