Summary
Success, having its all social significance in a personality self-realization, is formed at specified stages of ontogenesis and is connected with self-consciousness development conditions. Teenager’s self-consciousness development is connected with the social situation of development, teenagers’ self-determination, processes of role identification, self-realization These factors specify the formation of images and views characteristic for teenager’s self-consciousness. Considering a general statement according to which the external is refracted through internal, external forms of personality behavior are determined by features of its internal position In this regard, the significance of personality successful type development specifies the necessity to research the personality internal positions, mental representations concerning connotative characteristics of success in self-consciousness as emotional-evaluative addition to its major (denotative) meaning within the frame of personality psychology. The study of success views as any other verbal meanings makes it important to regard the statement that semantic components are considered in connection with psychological and social causality. The obvious absence of established theoretical views about the connotation of success, causality of self-consciousness semantics of a social situation of development in general and the factor of birth order in a family, in particular, testifies to the contradiction between scientific status of an issue and the level of its elaboration in general psychology, psycho-semantics and psychology of consciousness
