Summary/Abstract: The aim of this work is to present the adapted version of the Questionnaire of separation-individuation for adolescents, Levin et al. (1986). A sample of 1003 students from several faculties of the University of Rijeka participated in the study. An adapted and shortened version of the Questionnaire of separation-individuation examining relationships with significant persons: parents, friends and professors, was applied. The factor structure of our questionnaire was mostly congruent to the structure of the original questionnaire. Five factors were extracted representing dimensions of separation-individuation: denying the need for others, separational anxiety, inhibition due to parental control, a yearning for childhood and healthy independence. With regard to the clear factor structure and satisfactory coefficients of internal consistency, the questionnaire of separation-individuation can be used as a measure of the separation-individuation of adolescents.
