Abstract

The article discusses the results of our research on correlations between meaning-life orientations and the level of self-esteem among people with parental deprivation. People who experienced parental deprivation as children are thought to have law self-esteem and a variety of issues with the existence of life objectives and judgments of meanings. We undertook studies to shed light on this problem. The goal of the study was to determine the connection between meaning of life and self-esteem among those who experienced parental deprivation. The problems of the study were to find out the expressiveness of meaning-life orientations and the level of self-esteem among research groups. The methodologies used in the study were D. Leontiev's “Meaning-life orientations” test and T. Dembo, S. Rubinstein “Self-esteem” test. The primary conclusion from this study is that, despite that parental deprivation has been a source of difficulties, privation, dissatisfaction in the lives of people, who experienced it in childhood, in terms of the formation of the meaning of life and adequate self-esteem, the picture is almost the same in comparison with those without deprivation.
