The aim of the article is to characterize empirically the personal expediency of a person’s actualization of his own psychological resources. In the empirical study, the methods of the psychological questionnaire were used, as well as such methods of mathematical and statistical analysis of data as the cluster, regression, correlation, classification, discriminant analysis. The empirical study was carried out according to Nelson’s model, which assumed the discrimination of indicators of personal expediency of actualizing a person’s own psychological resources by coherence and systemic reflection. The results of the research. The personal content of the feeling of coherence, which generalizes the expediency of actualizing psychological resources, are experiences and values subject to systemic reflection, namely: aspects of experience – efforts and satisfaction, motivational values – independence and universalism. The indicators of the actualization of the feeling of coherence are personal resourcefulness and the ability of a person to operate with his own resources, that is able to invest and update. Reflected resource content of the feeling of coherence is made up of such resources: positive relationships with others, goals in life, faith, mercy, creative activity, reflections, physical activity, self-confidence, love, creativity, faith in goodness, work on oneself, responsibility. Conclusions. The personal content of coherence can be interpreted as a per­son’s achievement of a successful author’s way of being through the application of his own efforts. The ability to invest their own resources is the main indicator of the actualization of resources in a sense of coherence, which characterizes the desire for positive relationships with others, creative activity, and physical activity. The personal expediency of actualizing psychological resources is revealed in a person’s satisfaction with the application of his own efforts regarding an independent understanding of a merciful attitude towards others as the deter­mining goal of his life.

The problem of empirical verification of the bilateral updating of sense constructs is formulated. Empirical research was implemented in the Nelson model, which allowed determining the nature of the problem in the present situation. The available condition is sociothat the study was conducted from October 2018 to April 2019. In the present situation, the study of the sense construct is actualized by the resources of responsibility, belief in good, love, help to others and the inactivity of the motives of avoidance and competition. The main indicators of the resource actualization of the sense construct are the competitive motive, the motive of selfeffort, the resource of helping others and the resource of success, the value of stimulation, the lack of value of power and the non-determination of the new sense construct by the content from the previous one, which indicates the presence of semantic dispositions. The main indicators of the motivational actualization of the sense construct are the motives of avoidance and competitiveness, the values of tradition and universalism, the overall level of life-sense orientations, locus-control Me, the overall level of life-sense orientations is an indicator in the semantic construct, which indicates the presence of prejudice, motive. The results of the study were proved that the resource way of actualization the sense construct was possible with the ability of the individual to operate with his own psychological resources, which could be made more expressive through the motives of knowledge and evaluation of potential. The purpose of psychological resources in the actualization of the sense construct is to maintain communication with the metanarrative and, in fact, the approach of the personality in the process of sense’s transformations to authenticity

The problem of the empirical method of studying the psychological resources actualization is formulated. It is theoretically proved that the actualization of psychological resources makes the internal determinants of changes in its structure, associated with the peculiarities of the person’s own resources. The possibility of solving the problem in non-classical psychology of personality is shown. The empirical study in 2012–2018 involved 2680 people (64% of them were women and 36% – men) aged 18–72 years (M = 36,3; SD = 11,2). About 65% of people annually participated in the study, so we assume that it can be considered longitudinal. To determine the psychological resourcefulness and its components, a questionnaire of psychological resourcefulness was used. It is established that the overall level of psychological resourcefulness for the study period was in the range of 84,7–87,9 points, which corresponds to the average level of psychological resourcefulness. Based on the analysis of the differences it is found that between the components of psychological resourcefulness for the studied seven years from 2012 till 2018, there are differences at a statistically significant level between all resources with the exception of the resource «self-realization in the profession». According to the results of cluster analysis it is revealed that the indicators of the type of psychological resourcefulness of cluster 1 «2012–2016» is a low level of psychological resources of responsibility and knowledge of their own resources, and an indicator of the type of psychological resourcefulness of cluster 2 «2017–2018» is a low level of psychological resource of work on oneself. The comparative analysis revealed that the data obtained by the methods of tree-clustering and k-means, indicate the significance of qualitative differences in the types of psychological resourcefulness for 2012–2016 and 2017–2018 related to the resource of faith in goodness. Based on the results of mathematical and statistical analysis of the survey data there have been distinguished the resources-indicators of the type of psychological resourcefulness, resources-determinants, and resources-predictors of the overall level of psychological resourcefulness. The main indicator and measure of change in the structure and level of psychological resourcefulness can be considered a person’s knowledge of his/her psychological resources
