Abstract

The present study examines changes of self-knowledge and self-attitude of students – future psychologists from the first to the fifth year. The trainings of the personal growth are the most effective way for the development of these processes. Therefore, these trainings are often included in the curriculum of Psychological faculties. Annually the research examined the effectiveness of the personal growth training for students – future psychologists of educational (stable) groups. The study tested selfknowledge and self-attitude of students using self-reports, “Twenty statements of self-attitude Test- Kuhn M., McPartland T.”, and projective drawing technique before and after the training. The result revealed that the values of self-knowledge and self-attitude of stable educational students groups at the social level were much higher than the values of these parameters at the physical and reflexive levels. At the same time the physical level of self-consciousness correlates with the reflexive level and inversely correlates with the social level. Consequently, the fixation on the social images of selfcauses defense mechanisms and prevents the experience of physical and reflexive images of Myself. Thus, personal growth trainings in stable educational groups have inhibitory effects on the personal and professional development of students as they block the growth of their self-knowledge and selfattitude
