The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of self-fulfillment strategies in ambitious and unambitious young people. Ambition is understood by us as the desire of a person to become a significant person and to be recognized by other people for their achievements. Self- fulfillment is a person’s empowerment of himself, his personality, his value, this desire for high appreciation and self-esteem, and the behavior corresponding to this desire. Self- fulfillment can be implemented in one of three strategies – constructive, aggressive, or in the rejection of self- fulfillment. We assumed that there would be differences in the representation of self-fulfillment on strategies among ambitious and unambitious young people. The study involved 94 young people aged 18-22 years. The majority of young people consider themselves ambitious or rather ambitious people (70.21%). Less than a third of young people consider themselves to be unambitious or rather unambitious people (29.79%). In ambitious young people, two strategies of self- fulfillment were identified – constructive self-affirmation (60.60%) and rejection of self-affirmation (39.39%). Three strategies were identified among ambitious young people – refusal of self- fulfillment (42.86%), constructive self- fulfillment (42.86%) and aggressive self- fulfillment (14.28%). There were no statistically significant differences in the representation of constructive self- fulfillment and rejection of self- fulfillment in ambitious and unambitious young people. The only difference is that aggressive self- fulfillment is presented unambitious in unholy young people and is not present in ambitious young people.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the money orientation of young people with different self- fulfillment strategies. Self- fulfillment is viewed as a complex psychological phenomenon that includes needs, motives in achieving vital goals associated with the implementation of the self-concept and manifested in the desire for recognition, self-realization, achievement of role-based personal certainty and maintaining a certain social status. Our approach to the research topic was based on the position that self- fulfillment and the need for financial independence are becoming relevant for young people.Self- fulfillment can be achieved in different ways. One of these means can be considered money as a motive for human behavior. In our study, we proceeded from the assumption that there will be differences in the orientation towards money among young people with different strategies of self-affirmation. The study involved 94 young people aged 18-22.
