Personal values realization in life crisis conditions

Abstract

The results of study of concordance and discordance dynamic tendencies' in parameters of importance and accessibility of personal values as a functional mechanism of man's life space structuring are presented. On the basis of empirical material it is shown that these tendencies reflect changes in a person's value-meaning sphere which emerge in life crisis conditions due to dangerous somatic disease. The effect of actual barriers in realization of vital activity under fulminant diseases as well as barriers in respect of person's own life prospects originating from diseases with long-term consequences become apparen in these tendencies.
