In the result of the study revealed that there is a direct connection between the machines on individualism and manifestation assertive self-presentational behavior (level of significance p<0.001). Personality-focused values, which support the desire of the individual to material success and the individual’s social achievements, contribute to the orientation of the person on assertive strategy of self-presentation “Self-enhancement”, and socio-focused value orientations aimed at care about the welfare of others — hinder.
