Personal identity as a predictor of psychological well-being in young people

The purpose of the study is to identify the relationship between personal identity and psychological well-being in young people. Research methods and organization. The study involved first- and second-year university students, young men and women aged 17–21. Research methods: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature data, testing, and methods of mathematical statistics were used. Mathematical analysis of the data was carried out using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Research results and conclusions. It was established that students highly assess their personal qualities in general, while noting a low and medium level of volitional qualities and activity. A tendency was revealed toward the predominance of interdependent identity, self-representation as a member of a social group, and orientation toward the group's opinion. The level of subjective well-being falls within average values. A high level of well-being is characteristic of students with an independent positive ego-identity.
