Summary: The result which is presented in an integration stage has been presented in previous stages as partial results: perinatal research, the child who is 7 years old, the one who is 11 years old and the comparison between both ages in many aspects. The study presented at 17 years old, besides including new and interesting aspects in the young person’s life, as well as his assessments, his positions when faced to problems of social character and his projections of life, offers an opportunity to analyze the precedent characterizations in its influence on many aspects of young individuals’ personality. In short, we can center its validity and scientific value in the following aspects:- It offers the most possibly complete methodology about the execution of monitoring studies.It achieves the explanation, from a theoretical-marxist position, of the interrelations among aspects relevant in human development such as biological, natural, socio-economic and family factors, taking the educational process as an integrating element. It offers relevant data on the socio-cultural development of our country during the corresponding period, from 1973 to 1990. - It establishes how the study has opened new perspectives, to improve social administration in man's development and to deepen and make possible new scientific studies on the man's formation under the historical-cultural and economic conditions of Cuban society.
