Introduction. The article presents a new research viewpoint on individual particularities of experiencing loneliness by teenage school students. The synthesis of scientific knowledge and its theoretical and methodological justification within modern psychological framework of integrative approach allows us to see and predict possible options of individual development, including the experience of loneliness and aspects of one’s self-regulation. Materials and methods. The methods of theoretical research were used: theoretical analysis, modeling. Results. Integration of the main methodological approaches and concepts allowed us to construct and develop a multivariate model of one’s self-determination within the frame of experiencing loneliness and featuring particularities of their personal growth. These notions align with individuals being viewed as open-loop, nonlinear self-sustaining systems, distinguished according to the regulation aspects. Discussion and conclusion. The integrative approach has proved to be of high value within the course of studying the phenomenon of loneliness. It introduces a systematic and multidimensional approach to scrutiny of loneliness along with its features varying from one adolescent to another.
