AbstractContemporary research on individual differences in unconditional self-acceptance indicates that low unconditional self- acceptance is detrimental to well-being and, in some cases, could lead to mental health issues and mental disorders.Within this study a sample of adults (N=62; M=39.67) was investigated in order to observe the level of their unconditional self-acceptance and the relation between: self-acceptance and gender; self-acceptance and study level. The correlation with age was also discussed. Correlation between obtained scores and the probability of the occurrence of some disorders was discussed.
