The aim of this study is to explore and describe the possible selves (PSs) of a group of teenagers from the City of Buenos Aires (C.A.B.A.). Participants were 72 adolescents (69.4% female) from a private school in C.A.B.A. (M = 15.04; SD = 1.56). Adolescents completed a questionnaire with open-ended questions in which adolescents were asked to make a list of their PSs when they finish high school. Thematic content analysis of responses and frequency counts of categories was conducted. Teens generated PSs in five major areas: academic/occupational, physical, social, and satisfaction and achievements. The most prevalent area is the academic/occupational. Most teenagers generated PSs in one or two areas.

Palabras clave : Self-concept; adolescents; qualitative research; adolescents in Buenos Aires.
