Résumé anglais François Dubet : Suggestion for a Definition of the Patterns of Social Adaptation of Youth Starting from the Concept of Plan. The A. centers the study of the social action of youth upon the concept of plan. Therefore, he distinguishes two levels of plan regarding youth : the 'short- term' plan ? plan of immediate mobility ? and the 'long-term' plan ? plan oriented towards the adult image that is reached for. At both level, three types of plan are differenciated : the lack of plan, the 'realistic' plan and the 'different' plan. The main hypothesis is that the association between a short-term and a long-term plan, indicates a mode of social adaptation. The survey, performed in the suburbs of Bordeaux, deals with a sample of 212 adolescents and the data were collected by the means of interview questionnaires. Coherent sets of attitudes are distributed among each of the four evolutionary processes resulting from the plan. The A. names them : 'satisfaction', 'escapism', 'conflict' and 'apathy'. These are the 4 types of the social adaptation of adolescents. Though the concept of plan, especially that of mobility plan, is generally applied in the field of the sociology of work and organizations, this research shows it can be considered as a relevant conceptual tool in the analysis of the social action of youth.
