The pilot research in this paper is about the interconnections of metaphors about Enemy and about Friend with metaphors about the subject of the life line of adult persons. Within the framework of this selection, metaphors about the subject of the life line of adult persons are different. Metaphor with different intensity of the subject position, of the authorship of the own life line are discovered by us. Accentuation of the authorship of the life line is connected with polarization of appreciations of the Enemy and of the Friend and with the strengthening of positive features of the Friend image and of negative features of the Enemy image. Metaphors with low intensity of borders between the person and his social environment are connected with the ambivalent images of Enemy and of Friend, with the attribution of positive and negative features to the Enemy and to the Friend.

Problem of influence of adolescents’ self-relation on their motivation to future profession is touched by the author in this paper. The results of the study prove that within the framework of this selection, respondents with internal type of motivation demonstratethe upper levels of the self-appreciation and self-efficacy; respondents with external type of motivation demonstrate low levels of self-appreciation and self-efficacy. Data supported the hypothesis about the distinctions of types of adolescents’ motivation to future profession choice upon characteristics of their self-appreciation and levels of their self-efficacy.
