The aim of the study was to explore direct and indirect relationships between self-alienation, authentic living, acceptance of external influence, reliving and ignoring affective states and basic psychological needs. 318 Slovak university students participated in the research (age = 22,15; SD = 1,41; 35,5% women, 64,5% men). For the analysis, we used regression analyzes separately for men and women. Models for men and women confirmed their importance. In the group of women, ignoring positive emotions was confirmed as a significant predictor for self-alienation. For men, there were three factors significant for self-alienation: acceptance of external influence, frustration in the relational sphere and frustration in the field of competence.
