The results obtained by comparing the data belonging to group A and the ones belonging to group B show that
there are statistically significant differences in responsibility assignment and group affiliation variables. Thus, the
persons aged 20-35 years old (group A) are more tempted to hold the ones around them (especially relatives and/or
public authorities) responsible for their current social situation, regardless of the period in which they ended up in
the streets. More arguments on this matter are brought by the fact that many of the participants have not possessed a
personal house until this age. Most of them come from former orphanages or from current care centres, from
conflictive or disorganized families, they have been raised by grandparents or other relatives, far from their parents.
Homeless young people usually think of themselves as victims of unfavourable events or circumstances and identify
the source of responsibility somewhere in the outside, in the close social environment.
