In today's world, where interaction between people is becoming increasingly complex, the study of interpersonal dependence seems relevant. The aim of this article is to determine the content of the self- image and the prevailing type of relationships with other people for women with a high status of interpersonal dependence. As a result, the identification characteristics of the self-image of women with a high status of interpersonal dependence change in the direction of strengthening the reflexive Self and weakening the communicative Self. The authors revealed the prevailing type of relationships with other people and significant correlations between the indicators.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of the relationship between socio-psychological personality characteristics (core beliefs) and the level of state and trait anxiety in students. The sample consisted of 78 1st–3rd year students of V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University. The diagnostic tools included the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory by C.D. Spielberger – Y.L. Khanin and the «Core Beliefs Scale» by M.A. Padun – A.V. Kotelnikova. It was found that the majority of respondents have a moderate level of both state (74%) and trait anxiety (68%); a high level of trait anxiety was diagnosed in 12.8% of students. Correlation analysis (Spearman) revealed predominantly moderate direct relationships between core beliefs and anxiety. The most significant correlation was recorded between the «Self-image» scale and «Trait anxiety» (r = 0.538; p < 0.01). The obtained results indicate that in adolescence, positive self-perception and belief in a just world can be accompanied by increased anxiety due to high internal demands, responsibility, and perfectionism. This emphasizes the need to develop psychological and pedagogical support programs in the educational environment aimed not only at correcting negative beliefs but also at teaching self-regulation skills while maintaining a positive self-concept.
