In the empirical part, a semi-structured interview was conducted, the materials of which were processed using a phenomenological descriptive analysis, and methods were also used to assess the level of full-fledged functioning and self-attitude, namely, the Methodology of self-attitude research S.R. Panteleev (MIS), "The author's questionnaire for assessing the level of full-fledged functioning" (Vasilevskaya Ekaterina Yuryevna) and "Assessment of the need for approval" by D. Crown and D. Marlowe (adapted by Y.L. Khanin).
