The study is devoted to the problem of unresolved contradictions of personality in movement towards maturity during different age periods. It has been aimed at identifying different types of unresolved contradictions of mature personality as well as ways of dealing with them. Theoretical and methodological context for studying the above problem are studies of modern integral trends in methodology of personality, the concept of general personology, the periodization of life development of the personality, studies of the life of the personality, the concept of life relations and life contradictions of the personality as well as the concept of development of Self and personal maturity. During the study there have been used such methods as modelling, hermeneutic, biographic, reflexive and pshychodiagnostic. There has been developed the theoretical model of studying unresolved contradictions of personality and the method of reflexive biographical interview. There has been conducted the empirical study which lead to discovery of conscious unresolved contradiction of mature personality mostly pertaining to childhood and current ages. There have also been discovered dominating types of unresolved contradictions such as I-want vs I-reach, Other-in-Self vs Self-in-Other, I-potential vs I-reachable and Value-of-Other vs Value-of-Self. There have been defined leading ways in which the mature personality deals with unresolved contradictions such as hanging the contradiction, not finding adequate resolution to contradiction with the intention to find it, living through defeat in attempts to resolve contradiction. There have been discovered dynamic impact on life, subjective acceptance and opportunity of active reflection of unresolved contradictions of mature personality.
