The research presented is a part of a larger project named “Youth’s Values, Goals and Life Plans and Development of Future Orientation during Adolescence”. It is based on theories concerning development of man’s time perspective (Nuttin, 1980; Nurmi, 1991; Trempała, Malmberg, 1996, 2002; Trempała, 2000; Zaleski, 1991). Diversification of contents of youth’s goals and life plans set for various periods of life according to their age and definition of the dominating youth’s time perspective are the main problems of the presented part of the study. An original survey named “My Values, Goals and Life Plans” modelled on Zaleski’s “Goal Survey” (1991) and a modification of Nuttin’s Motivational Induction Method (MIM) (1980) were used in the study. Surveys were completed by 140 junior high school students aged 15 and 177 senior high school students aged 18.As far as the contents of goals are concerned, the following conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of the results of the study: the goals related to education prevail among young people’s short-term goals. Goals related to education, job and family prevail among junior high school students’ goals whilst those related to family and work prevail among senior high school students’ goals. Among life-long goals, job is the most frequently mentioned factor by junior high school students whilst happiness and stability are the most frequently mentioned goals by senior high school students. Education prevails among youth’s short-term goals; junior high school students mention university studies, family and job belong to the most frequent 10-year plans; senior high school students mention family and job the most frequently. It has also been stated, based on the results of the Motivational Induction Method that future time perspective prevails among the young people surveyed.
