The key tasks of this study were: (1) to identify the dynamics of personal goals formation during adolescence; (2) to assess the effects of the main contextual factors (family, school, peers) and individual characteristics on goal formation during adolescence; (3) to evaluate the effects of objective and subjective aspects of socio-economic and cultural background on the content and processes of goal formation during adolescence. This is the first large-scale longitudinal panel study on adolescents' goal formation in Lithuania. The study was carried out over two years (2019-2021), during which, 1268 adolescents studying in 36 gymnasiums located in different areas of Lithuania, participated in four assessments. The first survey took place in October-November 2019 before the onset of the pandemic. The second survey took place five months later, in the spring of 2020 (end of April- early May), during the first pandemic wave. The third survey took place in October-November 2020 at the onset of the second wave of the pandemic. The fourth took place in the spring of 2021 (March-April) during the decline of the second wave of the pandemic. All four surveys were similarly spaced out with a median difference of 23-24 weeks. The sample is diverse in terms of family and socio-economic backgrounds. Through a multi-stage sampling procedure, 14 out of the 60 Lithuanian urban and rural municipalities were selected based on balanced quotas for socioeconomic indicators and school achievement levels (low, medium, and high). Gymnasiums in selected municipalities were then chosen based on their size and school achievement levels to ensure diversity in the sample. Three of the initially contacted 39 gymnasiums did not participate in the study. The study was supported by the Research Council of Lithuania (LMTLT), grant agreement no. S-MIP-19-26.
