Influence of a situation of failure on a self-estimation in connection with inclusion of the individual in groups of different significance

The article considers the concept of inclusion in social groups, the features of self-evaluation phenomena depending on the importance of the group. The logic of the proposed concept allows us to formulate empirically verifiable consequences. The explanatory and prognostic possibilities of the inclusiveness concept (the theory of the «minimal - maximum» group) for the analyzed effects, in particular, self-evaluation effects are shown. In the experiment, an author's semiprojective technique was implemented to simulate the situation of failure.
