Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the experimental study of correlations between parameters of students’ self-Self--takes place at certain developmental stages on the basis of active assimilation, integration and hierarchization of information about «Self» and help an individual predict his/her social effectiveness and attitude of other towards him/her, regulate interpersonal relationships, set and achieve goals. Selfactualization is understood as a central aspect of personality development and it is a manifestation of the innate tendency for the individuals’ natural potential growth. The performed analysis of the survey data on students’ selfattitude peculiarities substantiates that their attitudes toward themselves has a pronounced positive emotional modus. There are significant correlations between parameters of self-attitude and self-actualization. Thus, a high positive self-evaluation is related to an individual’s ability to appreciate own dignity, to respect him/herself, directly and spontaneously express own feelings, demonstrate emotions, be relatively independent in actions and to the desire to be guided in life by own purposes, beliefs, attitudes and principles. The performed study shows that the respondents, demonstrating the ability to establish quickly actor-actor contacts, can understand and accept their own aspirations and feelings, their own emotions, including negative ones, without a need for feedback, without much concern for emotional reactions of others. It is noticed the lack of harmonization of the students’ self-actualization process and underdevelopment of their ability to constructive self-realization. The expediency of development and introduction of effective techniques for personal potential development, awareness of Self for self-realization and psychological well-being is substantiated.
