Abstract

The aim of research. The results of the research carried out by the Author were presented in this article. People (N=315) in late adulthood (60–75 years old) took part in the research. Its primary goal was to identify the personal predictors of sense of self-dignity. Methods. Two psychological methods were applied in the discussed project, such as: (1) Questionnaire of Sense of Self-Dignity (QSSD-3); (2) NEO-Five Factor Inventory. Results. The analyzes revealed that among the distinguished psychological variables, the role of the predictor of sense of self-dignity in late adulthood is fulfilled by the Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Extraversion. Conclusions. The findings obtained in the research may be a significant back-up for psychologists and social workers while defining ways of aid efforts taken towards elderly people having problems with the overall and adequate sense of self-dignity assessment.
