The aim of article is attempt to answer for the question: what effects does globalization have on the individual self-realization and psychological development? In this paper globalization is understood among others as the process of universalizing economic and social rules. Individual effects of this process are varied. Relationship between globalization and psychological condition of man is theoretically describe by the Model of Experience of Globalization (MDG). Based on the original model was constructed Globalization Experience Scale (SDG). This scale can measure the cognitive and affective reaction to globalization. Globalization Experience Scale (SDG) have a 14 statements which measure the influence of globalization on the three theoretical dimensions of personality: 1) Self-realization and self-creation (development), 2) The psychological safety (safety), 3) The sense of influence on the processes and effects of globalization (influence). Three-factor structure of theoretical model and Scale was confirmed by results of Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Structural equation modeling fit indexes (RMSEA=.024; GFI=.978; AGFI=.956; CFI=.991), Reliability: (Cronbach’s α=.80). The research results indicate that Globalization Experience Scale (SDG) is a useful scale for studying the impact of globalization on the human personality.
