The article reflects the results of the comparative empirical research of the motivational component of the adolescents’ image of the future (temporal prospective), who live in different "social situations of development", namely growing up in a family environment, and deprived from the family care. The empirical study was conducted using the MIM techniques (J. Nutten) in groups of adolescents contrast on the basis of place of residence and education: in families or in state institutions (social orphanage, boarding school, orphanage). The study revealed significant differences in motivational tendencies in the contrast groups of adolescents. The authors come to the conclusion that there consistently appear specific motivational tendencies in adolescents left without parental care, the ones that distort and inhibit personal growth, creating risk of vital failure, and therefore require well-timed psychological correction.

Разные психологические школы признают неодинаковую роль событий прошлого, настоящего и будущего в формировании личности человека. Психоаналитические концепции тяготеют к пассеизму, т.е. акцентируют роль прошлого в становлении и объяснении особенностей личности. Именно прошлое, по психоаналитическим воззрениям, создает предпосылки для становления психики индивида в будущем. И с этой точки зрения в прошлом индивида заложен смысл человеческой жизни, именно прошлое определяет особенности проживания настоящего и предстоящего будущего.
