In Brazil, care leavers experience the transition to adult life largely unsupported. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the aspects that favor better future expectations of Brazilian adolescents who are aging out of care. The study participants were 190 male (55.8 %) and female (44.2 %) adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age (M = 15.92, SD = 1.00) from three Brazilian capitals. The discriminant analysis technique was used to identify profile characteristics that significantly distinguished two groups: adolescents with high and those with low expectations for the future. The results reveal that (1) the aspect that most contributes to the increase in future expectations is the perceived social support, (2) the greater the readiness to leave care and the satisfaction with life, the better the future expectations, and (3) participating in an employment-assistance program brought down the adolescents' future expectations. These results point to the importance of preparation to leave care, combining instrumental support with socio-emotional support and considering the adolescents as the protagonists of their process and plans. 2022 artículo científico 1794-4724 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=79977706002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79977706002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79977706002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79977706002/79977706002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/799/79977706002/movil 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/apl/a.9407 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=799 Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.40 |
