Research objectives: to summarize research on the problem of loneliness, reflection, personality
maturity, and self-actualization; to identify the specific traits of reflection, personality maturity and selfactualization
in young people with different types of experience of loneliness; to conduct a comparative
analysis of the revealed differences, interrelationships of indicators of personality maturity, selfactualization,
reflection and personality maturity in young people, depending on the type of employment;
to develop and test a training program aimed at increasing the level of reflection in young people with
experience of loneliness.
The novelty and uniqueness of the scientific research consists in: identifing the peculiarities of
the relationship between reflection and loneliness, in particular, the author has found that the systemic
reflection type that is characteristic of mature functioning of this type of cognitive activity is characteristic
for young people who welcome loneliness and thus see loneliness as an opportunity for selfcommunication.
Besides, the author has found that positive loneliness plays a key role in personality selfactualization.
It has been proven for the first time that the structure of self-actualization, personality
maturity and ability to reflect are interrelated processes, on the one hand, and are also associated with the
type of experience of loneliness, on the other.
The solved significant scientific problem consists in establishing the characteristics of reflection,
personality maturity and self-actualization of young people with different types of experience of loneliness,
identifying differences in the manifestation of relationships between various types of reflection and the type
of experience of loneliness, self-actualization and personality maturity, as well as in preparing a training
program for the development of the ability to reflect that would allow to effectively influence the
development of a positive experience of loneliness and contribute to greater personality maturity and selfactualization
in an individual.
Theoretical significance. The theoretical conclusions of the dissertation complement the
knowledge about loneliness as a psychological phenomenon and about the specific traits of its experience
at a young age. The research materials supplement scientific ideas about the specific traits of reflection,
self-actualization and personal maturity of young people during the period of professional and academic
employment.
The practical significance of the research lies in the development and testing of a psychological
training aiming at developing the ability to reflect through exercises proposed by the author, based on
eclectic methods, as well as in the possibility of using the research findings in counseling young people
with problems associated with self-knowledge and in self-development. The data obtained may be used to
develop training courses in general psychology, ageing psychology, personality psychology, in the basics
of psychological counseling.
