CAUSAL AGENCY AND INFLUENCES ON TRANSITIONAL CHOICES: COMPARISON OF CROATIAN AND ROMANIAN YOUTH
CAUSAL AGENCY AND INFLUENCES ON TRANSITIONAL CHOICES: COMPARISON OF CROATIAN AND ROMANIAN YOUTH

Summary/Abstract: This research aims to provide insight into groups of influences on youth's transitional choices and examine the patterns of those influences. The selfreported influences on transitional choices were collected from Croatian and Romanian students. The analysis examines the interconnectedness of influences, differences arising from age and gender, and the heterogeneity of personal influence. Assuming that the approach to examined decisions is transferable to other social and economic choices, the results of this explorative study show that causal agency in decisionmaking should not be assumed a priori. This calls for further research and potential revision of the standard approach to individual decision-making.
