Adolescent identity-a qualitative approach: Self-concept, existential questions and adult contacts1999 •
2018 •
In an earlier article, Paolo Gambini (Italian psychologist and Salesian of Don Bosco) had empirically demonstrated the correlation that exists between the concept of the self and the search for meaning in adolescence. He had partly anticipated what he investigates through this article: the theory underpinning the search for meaning, in as much as it is the motivational dynamism that unifies, guides and supports the construction of identity. He believes it is important to continue the reflection on the relationship that exists between these two factors because of their pivotal role in the development of adolescence. The novelty of this present study is the theoretical perspective that combines the contribution of social psychology with that of dynamic psychology by highlighting how the journey towards the search for identity and meaning moves most of the time at an implicit rather than self-conscious level. This article is translated from the Italian by Peter Gonsalves.
This paper conceptually explores meaning in life and examines existing literature relevant to the adolescent. When meaning or purpose in life is missing the determination for existence may be lost and can lead to anxiety, depression, drug use, hopelessness, physical decline, and suicide. This turmoil is not a passing stage but a young person grappling for a sense of significance and purpose in life. The struggles of adolescence are a manifestation of a search for finding and fulfilling meaning in life. The adolescent needs to be guided in a search for meaning and accept responsibility for making one’s own decisions.

Opening up spaces for meaningful engagement in educational praxis.
Will there be space for young people’s own meaning-making processes in the RE classroom? Existential configurations as a concept and an educational toolThe aim of this chapter is to introduce the concept of existential configurations as an alternative to the concept of ‘livsåskådning’ in a Swedish context. The chapter argues that the ability of students to be active partners in creating the new multicultural or intercultural European reality will grow if we give them access to a language and to concepts that enable them to relate their own meaning-making to other people’s understanding of life. Speaking in terms of existential configurations creates the opportunity for teachers’ professional capacity to grow and gives all students the space “to develop a personal attitude to life and an understanding of how they and others are thinking and living” as stated by the curriculum (Swedish National Agency for Education, 2018).
