Effect of a critical life situation on the structure of self-estimation
(RESUME)

An attempt is made to represent self-estimation as a hierarchically organized structure and to show how this structure is affected by changes in actual motivation. Changes in the parameters of the suggested model were studied on a group of oncological patients. Disturbed system of actual motivation resulted in their case both in general reorganization of the structure of self-estimation (actual as well as retrospective) and in changed semantic content of particular parameters (self-estimation scales).
