Abstract

The research involved 612 higher education students of III and IV accreditation levels in Lviv (average age 20.31 ± 2.99 years), including: 351 male and 261 female individuals. The responders personally completed two questionnaires, namely: the questionnaire of Comparative index of Inferiority (to determine the presence or absence of the phenomenon of self-inferiority) and a Ten-item Personality Inventory (to determine and assess deep psychological traits).

The paper aims at studying personality traits depending on the phenomenon of self-inferiority.

The performed research has defined the following results: the group of individuals with the superiority index of self-inferiority phenomenon was characterized with the lowest mean value regarding four personality traits of extraversion, friendliness, consciousness and emotional stability (p < 0.05 compared to the individuals with absent phenomenon of altered self-esteem).p < 0.05 vs. individuals without the phenomenon of altered self-esteem).

The mean value regarding openness to new experiences was not significantly different in the studied subgroups, while the highest mean value was found in the group of individuals with the superiority index of the self-inferiority phenomenon.

The obtained unique findings are important for their practical application, in particular, for developing effective strategies of psychotherapy and psychological support for individuals suffering from the phenomenon of self-inferiority depending on the altered personality traits.
