The article examines the relationship between the idea of self-greed as a personality trait that contributes to the best results for themselves, at the expense of others, or by ignoring their needs, and psychological well-being, which is determined from the standpoint of eudemonistic approach. The survey method was used to determine the attitude of the subjects to their own well-being and greed; K. Riff's scale of psychological well-being (adaptation by T. Shevelenkova, P. Fesenko, 2005) to measure actual psychological well-being; methods of studying the semantic space of the concept of "greed" (Yanovska S., Lyutenko R., 2017), methods of statistical data processing. The sample (N = 141) aged 25 to 35 years, residents of Kharkiv, including 83 women and 58 men who had a job during the study, but 31 people worked part-time due to the coronavirus pandemic situation. It was determined that most of the subjects have an average level of psychological well-being and greed. Their ideas about psychological well-being are primarily related to health, material security, opportunities for self-development, independence and confidence in the future. Subjects are characterized as frugal, frugal people who understand moderation. They can share with others if it does not conflict with their own needs. The attitude to greed is ambiguous: most respondents consider greed a negative human trait, but there is also the opinion that greed is a motivating force of society. Significant links have been established between perceptions of one's own greed and a person's psychological well-being. A high level of greed reduces the number of trusting relationships, destroys interpersonal relationships and makes a person dependent. A person's moderate greed helps to increase his control over what is happening around him, creates the conditions and circumstances that are necessary to meet personal needs and achieve goals in problematic and uncertain conditions. The less a person uses others to meet his own needs, the greater his psychological well-being.

A person's attitude to death is influenced by the critical situations he encounters in his life. The war, which began in Ukraine at the beginning of 2022, made people's feelings about death relevant, because death has become everyday reality in the lives of Ukrainians. The purpose of the study is to determine the peculiarities of middle-aged people attitude to the phenomenon of death during the war in Ukraine. A sample of subjects (N=76) who previously participated in our research in 2019 and 2020 during the coronavirus infection. The age of the subjects varies as follows: Me=44.00; min=35.00; max=55.00. Research methods: the "Attitude to Death" method (I.Yu. Kulagina, L.V. Senkevich), the "Attitude to Death Scale" method by D.V. Hardt, Metaphor of Personal Death technique – the Revised Death Fantasy Scale (RDFS) J. McLennan. It was determined that the attitude towards death in people of the studied middle-aged group during the war is ambivalent with a certain deviation towards the positive. The studied group is characterized by an average level of stress resistance, which is associated with thoughts about death. The choice of metaphors about death is determined by the degree of attitude positivity towards death: a pessimistic attitude towards death is associated with negative thoughts about death, fixation on its external side, avoidance of contact with death. Lack of seeing a positive perspective in death leads to pessimism and negative thoughts. An optimistic attitude towards death is associated with the rare occurrence of negative thoughts about own death, perception of death as a necessary aspect of being, openness to contact with death. Significant differences were found between believers and atheists on the indicator of positive thoughts about their own death: believers showed a high level of acceptance of death. Significant differences in attitudes toward death between men and women were also identified: men have a more positive and "black" humor to thoughts about death.

Greed is one of the most common features in human nature, and it has recently attracted increasing research interest. The purpose of this work is to study the age-specific characteristics of determining own greed and its evaluation in others. We continue our research on greed as a personal trait, the presence of which leads to the maximum satisfaction of our own interests, at the expense of the well-being of others or as a result ignoring their needs. The problem of greed gained momentum with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, people of all ages and social status were forced to redistribute their material and intangible resources, save and save,when the others, on the contrary, increased their wealth through economic changes. So how has this critical situation affected the greed in all age people and their assessment of the greed in others? The following methods were used in the study: correlation, comparative and qualitative analysis of the results obtained by the method of semantic differential, incomplete sentences, situational tasks and the author's method of determining greed. As a result, it is shown that young people more often than adults consider greed as a personality trait inherent in everyone. Adult subjects to a greater extent equate the greed for experiencing negative emotions - evil, fear and aggression. In both groups, greed is defined as own limitation that prevents one from enjoying a full life, but through greed you can control your expenses, save and be responsible for your consumer behavior. Researchers of young and mature age believe that the greed of others limits their ability to live comfortably, satisfy their desires, achieve goals and live in abundance. Young and adult people's assessment of their own greed and the greed of others is moderate. Self-assessment of own greed and assessment of the greed of family and friends are similar. The assessment of city and country leader’s greed is higher than their own assessment of greed.

The article examines the relationship between self-assessment of human greed and assessment of the greed of the others. It has been shown that young people's perceptions of greed are ambivalent: greed is described as a defect, something bad that makes a person vulnerable, lowers his/her self-esteem, causes trouble, prevents him/her from living a full life and reduces the ability to acquire what is desired. On the other hand, young people pay attention to the fact that due to their greed they are careful about their own funds, control costs and consolidate resources for large purchases. The greed of others is also ambiguous: it can be an obstacle to satisfying the desires of young people, or it can be one that does not affect their goals achievements. The greed of the others is an obstacle to satisfying the desires of young people, achieving their goals. The assessment of the others' greed varied depending on the degree of these people intimacy. The characteristics of relatives, friends, people who they study or work with, were similar to the data obtained in the self-assessment of greed. However, when assessing the greed of the people who run the city and the country, the subjects attributed to them a higher degree of greed. The positive connection between the assessment of one's own greed and the assessment of the greed of relatives, friends and colleagues is determined. No significant relationship was found between the assessment of one's own greed and the greed of the people who run a city or country.

The method of diagnosing interpersonal interactions of curators and students is designed to study the perception of curators and students in the academic group about themselves and the curator, as well as to study the relationship between curators and students of the group. The method determines the type of attitude to the curator in self-assessment and mutual assessment. The technique is constructed according to the type of Likert scale. The statements in the form of small crafts in Ukrainian folklore are selected for evaluation - proverbs and sayings, which in content are the quintessence of folk ideas about human relations, and in form - concise and easy to understand. In addition, a statement in "metaphorical" form is subjectively easier to evaluate than a direct answer. There are variables that determine the type of attitude to the curator: "Understanding and democracy"; "One step ahead: attentiveness and foresight", "Efficiency, teamwork efficiency". These characteristics reflect various aspects of interpersonal interaction in the academic group, where the curator may pay attention to each of the participants in the educational process, and may be careless and biased; can organize team activities, express their ideas and wishes; predict the likelihood of problematic, conflict situations and manage the process of their resolution, and may, conversely, be passive, inactive, critical of social phenomena and others, provoke conflicts and misunderstandings. The interpersonal interaction of the curator and students is analyzed in a three-dimensional space, which is created by axes: understanding and democracy - misunderstanding and despotism; attentiveness and foresight - inattention and short-sightedness; efficiency, effective teamwork - passivity, unproductive teamwork. The method can be used to assess the behavior of the curator in the assessment of students (from the outside), for self-assessment of the curator and the description of the ideal curator. Depending on the level of diagnosis, the instructions change.
