The article presents a view surmising that the way of valuing oneself- the type of characteristics that are judged and the type of valuing criteria - changes during the life course. The recognised change depends on an increase in subjective significance of traits belonging to the moral and existential dimension of personality as well as an increase in importance of the personal and meta-personal perspective of self-perception and self-valuing. The role of the classically understood self-evaluation and self-acceptance relating to skill personality traits diminishes as a consequence of developmental tendencies, yet the importance of a sense of dignity and honour connected with moral characteristics as also the meaning of a general evaluation of one's life situation deemed as a sense of quality of life, increases. An individual's good external adaptation as well as relative and contextual thinking processes that develop with age aids these re-evaluation processes.
