Abstract

The article reveals the problem of the relationship between the individual psychological time and the adolescents’ personal identity structural organization. The relevance of personal identity study, its content and temporal aspect in adolescence is important today, especially in connection with time perspective and in war context. The results of an time perspective and personal identity empirical study are presented on the example of teenagers with post-traumatic growth and normative development aged 15-17 who were in the "Forest Outpost" camp, created for the psychological rehabilitation of children who suffered in military actions and armed conflicts. The next characteristics of time perspective in two groups, the post-traumatic growth group and the group with a normative course of development, were differentiated (Semantic Time Differential of Wasserman was used): 1) in the present – time activity, emotional coloring of time, time structure, time sensitivity (all indicators are higher in the group with post-traumatic growth); 2) in the past – sensitivity time and time structure; 3) in the future – time structure. Both groups have a negative perception of their past, due to the traumatic events experienced in it, but already have a more positive attitude towards the present and have significant hopes for an optimistic future. The generalized results of a comparative analysis of the identity status of representatives of isolated groups are presented, which differ in the dominance of the moratorium status in the group with post-traumatic growth and diffuse identity in the group with normal development. Therefore, differences in the perception of time perspective, namely, a higher orientation to the present, a more positive evaluation of it in the group with post-traumatic growth is associated with a higher degree of personal identity structure coherence, where the moratorium has an average level of coherence, and the diffuse identity has a low level of coherence. The applied aspect of the investigated problem may be implemented in the development of programs of psychosocial support of the individual in adolescence.
