Abstract

The article analyzes the phenomena of an individual’s self-determination and psychological well-being, their interrelations, factors and components. These are the factors of psychological well-being that form a motivational focus on self-realization, personal autonomy, self-expression, self-acceptance, actualization of own nature, creative potential disclosure, positive relation- ships with others, belief in own effectiveness, etc., which form the individual’s self-determination capabilities. The self-determination structure includes the following components: goals, values, meanings, and awareness of own life journey, perspective of the future; motivation for self-development and self-realization; personal self-efficiency, self-attitude and autonomy; understanding of own powers and confidence in own capabilities; conscious control and realistic assessment of own achievements and prospects, involvement into the social life. Based on the performed correlation and regression analysis, we have established that self-determination of people’s behaviour is influenced by understanding of their life goals and meanings, the inner locus of control, personal autonomy and the ability to self-determination of their positions and regulation of their own lives. The main factors of self-determination, successful self-realization and personal psychological well-being are: understanding of own purposes, meanings, perspective of own future; existence of motivation for self-development and self-realisation, understanding of own powers and confidence in own capabilities, personal autonomy, and the ability to control consciously and to assess own achievements and prospects. The article substantiates that self-determination of personal development is the psychological foundation and prerequisite for personal self-realization. Successful self-realisation and personal psychological well-being is determined by existence of a personal desire for self-development and personal power revealing, evaluation of own personal powers as sufficient to successful achievement and holistic perception of life’s journey, including existence of realistic life goals. These factors stipulate goal-setting motivation and determine integration of the past, present and future in a personal psychological life space. It is substantiated that self-determination of personality development is a psychological basis for its self-realization and psychological well-being.
