Abstract

A changing and uncertain society leads to the need to combine everyday life, habitual activities with new values that arise during changes and with tolerance for this variability and uncertainty. Different types of uncertainty lead to complex, difficult life situations, but at the same time, they can also lead to the development of the ability to overcome difficulties, cope with extreme situations. In this situation one of the main factors often becomes the ability to rise above the field, to overcome everyday life in order to self-actualize and find the courage for self-change. The goal was to study the sources of the emergence of extreme everyday life and its connection with situational, personal and individual qualities – existential fulfillment, the ability to self-distancing and freedom, as well as extroversion. The selected methods are adequate to the questions posed in the work. The study involved 124 respondents aged 19 to 29, including 63 men and 61 women. Results Overall, the results showed a high level of emotional stability and development of life-meaning orientations with an external locus of control and moderate risk tendency. Risk tendency correlates positively with agreement and openness to experience, but negatively with such personal characteristics as personality and fulfillment. Extreme behavior can become everyday life in case of the desire for new sensations and openness to new experiences. In combination with an external locus of control in life, this lane of personal development leads to an extreme version of a lifestyle that does not become coping, but to some extent helps to socialize in a changing reality. However, the desire for risk is not the primary form of behavior for most young people in our sample, leading to moderate extreme level, that is, extreme everyday life.
