It is generally accepted that as a result of experiencing the crisis of adolescence, young people for the first time have a sense of adulthood, a desire to make decisions themselves and be responsible for them, to adequately respond to the situation. A study conducted by psychologists at the Vladimir State Pedagogical University showed that modern boys and girls underestimate their psychological age, and over the years this trend has intensified: if 16-year-olds feel like a year younger than they are, then 20-year-olds are already two years younger than they are. of the year. By interviewing three groups of young people aged 16, 18 and 20, psychologists also saw that the older they are, the later teenagers hope to grow up: 16-year-olds at about 23 years old, 18-year-olds at about 26 years old, and 20 -year-olds postpone this moment until 27-29 years. Psychologists see the reasons for the reluctance to grow up in the fact that modern children are caught between the inability to quickly become economically independent from their parents, the increase in the terms of professional education and the high level of their own claims.
