Abstract

Introduction. During a person’s life, a "type of temporality of his personality" is formed (by himself and/or by circumstances), which determines everyday and work activity. The problem of the study is the answers the questions: is it possible to describe the types of temporality of personality based on temporal orientation and temporal scenario? Are there some differences in time attitude, its functions, and the dominant orientation of adaptive activity in subjects with different types of temporality?
 Research methods. The respondents were 355 representatives of socionomic professions, aged 27 to 35 years (180 women and 175 men). Psychodiagnostic methods were the author’s developments: the questionnaire "Subjective assessment of temporal orientation," the scale "Temporal scenario of personality," the methodology "Scale of subjective attitude to time," the questionnaire "Temporality of personality," the questionnaire "Subjective assessment of adaptive activity of personality."
 Results. Resourceful, neurotic-fixed and infantile-fixed types of personality temporality are revealed. "Resourceful type" - a combination of a resolving temporal scenario with a focus on the present and future, with a flexible attitude to time, which performs a mobilizing function and a pragmatic orientation of adaptive activity as well. "Neurotic-fixed type" is a combination of a forbidding temporal scenario, with fixation on the past, a temporal dependence, where time has subject-limiting and suppressing functions, with a homeostasis orientation of adaptive activity. "Infantile-fixed type" is a combination of infantile-resolving temporal scenario with a fixed focus on the present, indifferent attitude to time, performing a limiting function for the subject and hedonism as the leading orientation of adaptive activity.
