Bu araştırma, Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesindeki lise öğrencilerinin çeşitli boyutlardaki gelecek beklentilerini ve bu beklentilerine etki eden faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Betimsel-ilişkisel tarama modeliyle gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın örneklemi, bölgedeki dokuz ilde en yaygın lise türlerinden birer tane olmak üzere toplam 54 lisenin farklı sınıflarında öğrenim gören ve basit tesadüfî örnekleme ile seçilen toplam 1106 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan “Gelecek Beklentisi Ölçeği (GBÖ)” ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları, Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesindeki lise öğrencilerinin, kişisel ve mesleki gelecek, eğitsel gelecek, ekonomik gelecek ve sosyal gelecek boyutlarındaki beklentilerinin genel olarak ortanın üstü düzeyde olduğunu göstermiştir. Araştırmaya göre, bölgedeki lise öğrencilerinin en çok tercih ettikleri mesleklerin başında öğretmenlik ve tıp doktorluğu gelmektedir. Lise öğrencilerinin gelecek beklentileri cinsiyete, okudukları lise türüne, akademik not ortalamalarına, anne eğitim düzeyine, baba mesleğine, aile gelir düzeyine, kardeş sayısına, okul öncesi eğitimi alma durumuna ve evde konuşulan dile göre farklılaşmazken okulun bulunduğu ile, sınıf düzeyine, disiplin cezası alma durumu ve okulu bırakma eğilimine göre anlamlı farklılaşmaktadır.
