Abstract

In the process of personality establishment the individual's self-realization and ability to be oneself (i.e authentic path of development) are of paramount importance. This article deals with an empirical examination of the relationship between one's authenticity and self-realization. We suggested that personality authenticity has something to do with certain aspects of self-realization in early adulthood, which came as the hypothesis of the research. 81 respondents (37 males, 44 females) aged 22-37 took part in it. The following research methodologies were used: Authenticity Scale (adapted by S.K. Nartova-Bochaver et al), ‘The Purpose-in-Life orientations’ test, "Self-attitude" inventory (SAMOAL). The respondents were surveyed online using Google Forms. It has been revealed in the study that between parameters of authenticity on the one hand and parameters of self-attitude, self-actualization, meaning, awareness on the other there are statistically significant correlations which suggest certain interrelated personality tendencies in the manifestations of authenticity and self-realization.
