Article investigates the place of self-realization as individual value among factors of individual human life, including other individual values. The conceptualization of individual value of self-realization is offered, proceeding from psychological and sociological ways of its understanding.

The empirical part of the article is based on the results of two online surveys. The first was held in March 2020 among students of Taras Shevchenko National University (N = 417), the second — among residents of Kyiv region in June and July 2021 (N = 728). The sociological test "Individual values and interests — 13" was used as a method of measuring individual values. For statistical analysis, the Condorcet method was used (to identify the aggregate value rating), the 2 independence criterion (for analyzing relationships with external factors), and the Z-test for one sample applied to simulated data (for analyzing relationships with other values).

Authors revealed the inequality of self-realization positions in the aggregate rating of individual values for students of Taras Shevchenko National University and residents of Kyiv region was. The relationship of self-realization importance level and gender, marital status, relative financial deprivation and the experience of management was established. There is also direct relationship with the value of knowledge, and inverse relationship with the values of home comfort, physical health and psychological comfort.

Keywords: value, self-realization, individual life activity, IVI-13.
