在这篇综述中，我们讨论了关于学习目的作为一个与青春期相关的构念的重要性的三个问题。我们考虑如何找到一个目标可以帮助年轻人回答诸如“我是谁？”我要去哪里？总结一下在青春期找到目标的好处。有目标的年轻人在生活中更有主见，更有动力，也更快乐，更不容易受到青春期常见风险的影响。最后，我们确定了值得研究的领域，包括需要了解哪些背景最能支撑年轻人的目标发展，以及需要进行实验研究以加强因果关系。
In this review, we discuss three questions about the importance of studying purpose as a construct relevant to adolescence. We consider how finding a purpose can help youth answer questions such as Who am I? and Where am I going? and summarize the benefits of finding a purpose during adolescence. Purposeful youth are more agentic and driven in their lives, as well as happier and less susceptible to risks common in adolescence. We conclude by identifying areas that merit study, including the need to understand which contexts best scaffold the development of purpose among youth and the need for experimental research to strengthen causal claims.
