The impact of uncertain conditions on the self-realization of modern individuals

Abstract

The article reveals the psychological features of the influence of conditions of uncertainty on the self-actualization of a modern personality. The purpose of the article is to understand the problem of the impact of a situation when the information available for decision-making or action is incomplete, ambiguous or contradictory on a person's desire for personal development, self-realization and improvement of his capabilities. It is noted that the presence of a number of characteristics of uncertain situations, in particular, novelty, contradiction, complexity, a large number of possibilities, choices and decisions, the unknown probability of an event is an effective way for a person to realize his Self as a unique, unique world. It is indicated that the situation of uncertainty, with its positive perception and interpretation and under the condition of a favorable social environment, can fuel personal growth and transformation of a person. It is noted that the situation of uncertainty under favorable conditions makes the process of a person's awareness of what he wants (goals, life plans, ideals), what he can (his capabilities, inclinations, giftedness) and what he has (goals, life plans, ideals) significantly better quality It is emphasized that the vital self-determination of an individual in a situation of uncertainty consists in making a decision about the meaning of life and its strategy on the basis of a reflective and valuable understanding of events and self-realization in accordance with the decision made." According to the results of the study, it was noted that 74% of the entire studied sample recorded the presence of a situation of uncertainty in at least one area of their own life (family, professional, household, socio-economic or personal-intimate). It was found that a person's stay in a situation of uncertainty correlates with the level of development of his self-actualization. It is noted that the subjects are characterized by a low level of orientation in time (50.7 points), which is within the limits of mental and statistical norms, which reflects a poorly developed ability to live in the present in a situation of uncertainty with a feeling of an inextricable connection with the past and future . The subjects are characterized by developed self-support, are relatively independent in their actions, prefer to live by their own mind, be guided by their goals and principles.
