Adolescents are tasked with navigating competing priorities, including whether to marry, have children, pursue a job/career, go to college, and contribute to society. The developmental task of building expectations for the future is especially complex for Cambodian adolescents living within a society that strongly prioritizes family obligations yet increasingly provides educational and professional opportunities. The current study, guided by Seginer's (2003) future orientation model, applied latent profile analysis (LPA) to explore patterns of Cambodian adolescents' (N = 580, 64% female, Mage = 15.85) future expectations across key life domains and predictors of those patterns. LPA identified four profiles: Low Expectancy (low expectations across all domains; 12%), Family Focused (high expectations to get married and have children; 31%), Professional/Service Focused (high expectations across education, employment, and societal contribution domains; 27%), and High Expectancy (high expectations across all domains; 30%). Females were more likely than males to be in the Professional/Service Focused than High Expectancy profile. Adolescents with greater internal locus of control and family obligation were less likely to be in the Low Expectancy and Family Focused than High Expectancy profile, whereas adolescents in higher grade levels were more likely to be in the Family Focused than High Expectancy profile. Adolescents with closer relationships with mothers were less likely to be in the Professional/Service Focused than High Expectancy profile; adolescents with closer relationships with fathers were more likely to be in the Professional/Service Focused than High and Low Expectancy profiles. Findings elucidate configurations of adolescents' future expectations, and factors distinguishing among adolescents with different configurations.

柬埔寨城市青少年的未来期望概况。

青少年面临着处理相互竞争的优先事项的任务，包括是否结婚、生孩子、追求工作/职业、上大学以及为社会做出贡献。对于生活在一个高度重视家庭义务但越来越多地提供教育和职业机会的社会中的柬埔寨青少年来说，建立对未来的期望的发展任务尤其复杂。当前的研究以 Seginer (2003) 的未来导向模型为指导，应用潜在概况分析 (LPA) 来探索柬埔寨青少年（N = 580，64% 女性，Mage = 15.85）对关键生活领域的未来期望模式以及未来的预测因素。那些图案。LPA 确定了四种情况：低期望（所有领域的低期望；12%）、以家庭为中心（对结婚和生孩子的高期望；31%）、以专业/服务为中心（对教育、就业和社会贡献领域的高期望） ; 27%）和高期望（所有领域的高期望；30%）。女性比男性更有可能属于专业/服务型而非高期望型。具有更大内部控制点和家庭义务的青少年不太可能处于低期望和以家庭为中心的特征，而不是高期望特征，而年级较高的青少年更有可能处于以家庭为中心的特征而不是高期望特征。与母亲关系密切的青少年不太可能处于以专业/服务为中心的状态，而不是高期望状态；与父亲关系密切的青少年更有可能处于以专业/服务为中心的状态，而不是高期望和低期望的状态。研究结果阐明了青少年未来期望的配置，以及区分具有不同配置的青少年的因素。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
