EXPERIENCING PARTING WITH SIGNIFICANT OTHER PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SELF DETERMINATION OF PERSONALITY
The study of the phenomenon of experiencing separation in connection with various psychological phenomena is an important direction in modern scientific research. The purpose of the study was to describe the features of the experience of parting with a significant romantic partner by people with different levels of personality self-determination. Were used: methods "Self-determination of personality" K.M. Sheldon, "Self-determination in romantic relationships" (adaptation by K.G. Klein, V.Yu. Kostenko), questionnaire survey, mathematical methods of descriptive statistics, comparative analysis (U-test Mann-Whitney; Kruskal-Wallis test), Spearman's correlation analysis. The sample consisted of 43 people aged 20 to 25 who had been separated from a significant partner from three to six months. It was found that respondents with a high level of self-determination noted a lower intensity of negative feelings of separation at the time of the study, less often turn to memories of relationships, and more often talk about the emergence of new plans in life compared to a group with a low level of self-determination. Correlation analysis showed in a group with a high level of self-determination, clear relationships within the "internal" and "external" motives of romantic relationships and a lower level of amotivation in relationships, which shows a greater awareness of romantic relationships compared to a group with a low level of self-determination, in which these connections are contradictory.
