The study has revealed that young people with high personality maturity level have high role expectations and aspirations in a social sphere. In the middle-aged group subjects with mature personality have high role expectations and aspirations in emotional and psychotherapeutic sphere of family relationships. Subjects with mature personality from the oldest age group showed high role expectations and aspirations in personality self-identification. The study has revealed that people with low personality maturity level have lower level of role expectations in parental relationship sphere than those in other age groups with the same level of personality maturity. In general, people with low personality maturity level in any age group have more non-standard marriage role expectations and aspirations than the ones with high personality maturity level.
