The object of research time perspective of person.The purpose: theoretically substantiate and empirically examine the interrelation between time perspectives and components of sense of coherence of personality. Methods: Theoretical - analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, interperation, modeling. Psychodiagnostic methods are Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory ZTPI (adaptation by A. Sirtsova, E. T. Sokolova, O. V. Mitina), Antonovsky Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC) (adaptation M. N. Dymshitz), Maddi Hardiness test (Adaptation of D. A. Leontiev), Meaning of Life Orientations Test of D. A. Leontiev, Rusalov Questionnaire on the Structure of Temperament, projective exercise "5 Targets", projective method Kotl's graphic test. Statistical methods of data processing - correlation analysis (Pearson criteria), regression analysis, factor analysis (general component method), single factor dispersion analysis, discriminant analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov criterion, Student's t-test, Barlett criterion.Novelty: The scientific novelty of this thesis means that this work has for the first time: theoretically established the analogy between the meaning of the construct of the sense of coherence and the time perspective phenomenon;ascertained that the parameters "engagement", "control", "assumption of risk", "general hardiness", "comprehensibility", "manageability", "meaningfulness" and "general sense of coherence" have higher level of representation in the "Working people" group than in the "Students" and "Pensioners" groups; established the interrelation between the construct of balanced time perspective and the "comprehensibility" component of the sense of coherence in the "Students" group;identified the interrelations between time perspectives and the "manageability" component of the sense of coherence in the "Students" and "Pensioners" groups;established the interrelation between the parameters "subject ergicity" and "general hardiness" in the "Working people" group;identified the interrelations between individually-typological features, meaning of life orientations and hardiness in respondents with different types of leading activity; statistically significant correlations between the parameter "general hardness" and the following parameters: "subject ergicity", "plasticity", "social tempo", "social emotionality", "life goals", "process of life" and "locus of control - I" have been found in all groups.This thesis has supplemented and elaborated:the perception of the effect of balanced time perspective on the person's mental health and wellbeing; the perception of the existence of meaning of life orientations, hardiness and specifics of goal setting in personalities with different types of leading activity; it was determined that the "Working people" group is dominated by a high level of representation of most meaning of life orientations and high level of representation of all components of hardiness; the perception of the differences in individually-typological features, meaning of life orientations and components of hardiness in respondents with different types of leading activity; it was shown that the parameters "present-hedonistic" and "social plasticity" prevail in the "Students" group; the parameters "future", "subject ergicity", "social ergicity", "plasticity", "tempo" and "social tempo" are found to a greater degree in the "Working people" group; the "Pensioners" group is dominated by the expressive parameters "past-negative", "past-positive", "present-fatalistic", "emotionality" and "social emotionality";conscientious and unconscientious dominating time perspectives have been compared for respondents with different types of leading activity; it was established that according to Ph. Zimbardo's ZTPI methodology, the "Working people" group has low degree of manifestation of the past-negative time perspective, the "Pensioners" group has high degree of presence of the present-fatalistic time perspective, whereas according to the projective methodology of Cottle's graphic test, the future-focused time perspective is dominating in the "Students" and "Working people" groups; at the same time, the past, present and future time perspectives have been found in almost equal degrees in the "Pensioners" group. The practical significance of the dissertation is that the results of the study are included in the content of teaching courses "General psychology" (section "Psychology of personality"), "Differential psychology", special course for masters of ONU named after I. I. Mechnikov "Psychology of health, stress and Coping behavior "; Introduced in the research and practical activities of the Department of General Psychology and Psychology of Personality Development (Act No. 02-01-591 dated March 31, 2017); Used in the work of the private enterprise "FELLINI" (the act of implementation No. 01 / 11-16 dated January 1, 2016), the private enterprise "ARGANI" (implementation act No. 5 dated May 16, 2016), the private enterprise "TAKKATA" (the act of implementation No. 11-16 of 21.11.2016), the private enterprise ARNEGI (the act of implementation No. 01/16 dated October 31, 2014), the private enterprise "ANTS" (the act of implementation No. 12/16 dated 15.10.2016), the private enterprise "ROYAL CONSULT" (Act No. 29 of 02.02.2017) Scope institutions of higher education, psychological services.
