Resumo: This paper aims to understand how young people explain the phenomenon of youth prolongation from their own experiences and their evaluation of the social and historical context in which they are inserted. A qualitative research with a cross-sectional design was developed with people aged 25-29 years old from Brazil and Spain. Individual in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with men and women in both countries, totaling 50 respondents. The interviews were recorded and transcribed, organized and categorized with Atlas-ti® software and analyzed through semantic content analysis. The analysis makes it evident that the interviewees highlighted two different explanation models that refer to extrinsic and intrinsic aspects. The formers refer to the economic crisis and the difficulties in labor insertion of young people, the increase in life expectancy, the social permission and encouragement of the family to carry on with a young life, and the influence of the media in this same direction. The intrinsic explanations would be characterized by value changes-linked to the priority given to financial aspects and professional life-and the growing appreciation of a hedonistic ethics observed among young people.

Realizamos una investigación cualitativa de diseño transversal con jóvenes de 25 a 29 años brasileños y españoles. Se llevaron a cabo 25 entrevistas individuales en profundidad  con hombres y mujeres, totalizando 50 entrevistados en ambos países. Las entrevistas fueron grabadas y transcritas, organizadas y categorizadas con el software Atlas-ti® y analizadas a través de análisis de contenido semántico.A partir del discurso de los entrevistados se evidencia dos modelos de explicación que toman como referencia aspectos extrínsecos e intrínsecos. Los primeros se refieren a la crisis económica y las dificultades de inserción laboral de los jóvenes, al aumento de la expectativa de vida, al permiso social e incentivo de la familia para seguir la vida de joven y a la influencia de los medios de comunicación en ese mismo sentido. Las explicaciones intrínsecas serían caracterizadas por los cambios de valores – vinculados a la prioridad dada a  aspectos financieros y de la vida profesional – y la valoración cada vez mayor de una ética hedonista que se observa en la juventud.Universidade Federal do Ceará2014-02-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://www.periodicos.ufc.br/psicologiaufc/article/view/807Journal of Psychology; v.4, n.2, 2013 (julho-dezembro); 75-86Revista de Psicologia; v.4, n.2, 2013 (julho-dezembro); 75-862179-17400102-1222reponame:Revista de Psicologia (Fortaleza.
