A positive self-concept is an important condition for the full functioning of an individual. A positive self-concept manifests itself through a person's positive attitude towards himself/herself, adequate self-esteem, a sense of his/her own integrity, and the desire to realize his/her potential. A person with a formed positive self-concept is characterized by stable psychological health and, in general, has a high level of psychological well-being. The self-concept of an individual faces various life challenges every day, functions in traumatic situations, is influenced by the social environment, and therefore can undergo transformations. Often, a person is not aware of these transformations, but notices that his/her life has changed for the worse - apathy, feelings of insecurity, emotional exhaustion, decreased self-esteem, etc. have appeared. These negative formations appear due to the transformation of the self-concept, therefore, the study of the factors and features of this process is necessary for the development of measures to overcome the consequences, restore harmony, and master effective strategies of behavior in specific situations.</p><p>The self-concept of an individual is affected by two groups of factors - external and internal. They cause constructive and destructive transformations that lead to the formation of a positive or negative self-concept.
