Summary/Abstract: The concept of "social success" is approached differently depending on the cultural imprint. In different socio – economic contexts, the academic targets, the concepts of desire, professional fulfilment, setting, timing, effort limits, and investment in the world and life perspective are marked by the shift of role models in the family environment, as well as the formal and informal educational environment. This paper refers to the activation of the competitive potential of adolescents, sketching a group profile of young people from Romanian academic environment. The central dimensions are: self-esteem, saturation with parental models and family micro-group, inner tension related to insecure self-perception, as well as high standards related to insufficient stability to failure.
