Psychological mechanisms of the interrelationship of anticipation and prognosis in adolescence and early adulthood

The article presents the results of a study of psychological mechanisms of the relationship of anticipation and forecasting in adolescence and early adulthood. Obtained data indicate that the ontogenetic aspect of adolescence and youth is maturity of antcipational consistency. Anticipational forecasting processes in adolescence are characterized by the interrelation between anticipational consistency and predictive depth and flexibility. In adolescence there is an interrelation between anticipational consistency and predictive depth, awareness, flexibility, perspective and conclusiveness. The degree of severity and direction of the relationship between prognostic parameters and anticipational consistency point to the coherence of anticipational-forecasting system in adolescence.
