INTERRELATION OF PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY
AND SELF-TRUST IN PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS

The relevance of the study is explained by transformations taking place in economic and social spheres of life, which put forward new demands for specialists’ professionalism and stimulate the improvement of the training of specialists to meet modern requirements. In the light of the recent changes one should understand that the training of professionals must meet not only the requirements of the present but also the person’s ability to find himself/herself in the structure of professional relations, which are constantly changing. The paper aims to characterize the features of the formation of professional identity and its relationship with self-trust of future psychologists. The article deals with the essence of the identity phenomenon, which for a long time has been the subject of research of psychologists of various areas of science. As a result of the conducted research, six clusters have been identified empirically, depending on the level of maturity of professional identity and self-trust. Most of the respondents have a high level of professional identity. The wave-like character of the development of professional identity in future psychologists in the process of professional training has been noticed. The degree of awareness of belonging to the profession and professional community depends on the level of self-confidence.
