Abstract

Personal well-being and health represent a constant process of the realization of an individual self-actualization; unhappiness and illnesses cause the inability to become a full-fledged person. The investigation of the problem of a subjective well-being let us to make a considerable progress and to solve the problem of a personal choice of adequate copping-strategies that help to preserve our physical and psychological well-being, and to raise the living standard. Subjective well-being of a personality shows not only the inward human ecology, but it also controls his social behaviour.
Satisfaction or dissatisfaction of life determines too many human’s acts, his various activities and behaviour: in everyday, economical, political life. This experience is a significant factor in the development of mind, emotions, expectations and interpersonal attitudes.
The satisfaction of life has a direct influence on humour, psychological state, individual psychological determination. The importance of this significant phenomenon is realized by an ordinary as well as scientific mind. At the same time, in many scientific researches satisfaction of life is interpreted as a quite simple phenomenon, like some appreciation, which is given by a person to characterize his current situation of life. Various aspects of subjective well-being, inward picture of this experience have been rarely chosen as subjects of psychological investigation.
Unfortunately in the majority of scientific researches the psychologist is examined as a personality without gender divergences, and this fact substantially restricts the understanding of the inner sense of the activity of the psychologist and, at the same time, it limits the revelation of possible ways of improvement of its efficien- cy. The main aim of this research consists in the analysis of the results of the empirical investigation that deals with gender divergences between determinants of the personally individual features.
For the statistical processing of empirical data, there were used the one-factor dispersion analysis, the ar- ithmetical mean and the standard deviation. The one-factor dispersion analysis let us find out the statistically significant divergences between men and women. It is stated that among women future psychologists there is a big benefit in the communicative sphere. They are more inclined to the interpersonal communication; they willingly start their conversation and easily create new contacts. Besides, they initiate and manage the whole process of the communication with pleasure. Women psychologists have bigger indices in inner motivation, the activity itself is highly important, that’s why they can achieve better results and become successful in their professional activity. They are ready to accept their personal features with all advantages and disadvantages, they accept different life circumstances more positively and women reveal better indices in social adaptation, than men psychologists.
Men psychologists possess better indices in subject activity, stability in various types of work and disposi- tion towards physical labour. It has been determined that in the intellectual sphere, among women psycholo- gists emotions certainly prevail the general activity, nevertheless men reveal some peculiarity: with the same “normal” activity, men either show emotions in mental activity or on the contrary, they stay calm.
