The act of self-determination of future psychologists is understood as a manifestation of an active personal position in choosing and defending the vector of their own life, an internal act of moral and ethical choice, and an individually significant integral psychosocial formation that progressively integrates motivational, value-based, cognitive, and activity-related components of action. It reflects the gradual and consistent formation of their personal and professional identity, encompasses their choice of future life path and professional trajectory, and requires awareness of their social role, a developed readiness for self-development, and the presence of grounds for responsible self-realization, as well as reflective comprehension of oneself as a specialist and a morally mature personality. The heuristic significance of studying the act of self-determination of future specialists is proven on the basis of comprehensive psychodiagnostics of its structural and substantive components (situational, motivational, active, and post-active), each of which represents a distinct level of their conscious engagement in acts of making life-significant decisions and indicates the presence within their professional consciousness structure of corresponding axiopsychological determinants – elements of the value-semantic sphere that regulate and direct their individual volition regarding the direction of personal and professional self-realization. The integrity of the act-based self-determination cycle is interpreted as the degree of integration of all its structural, substantive, and value-spiritual components into a holistic personality structure of a higher education applicant capable of overcoming adverse external circumstances, critically revising personal goals and meanings, making autonomous existential choices, and reflectively comprehending the consequences of decisions for their everyday life. The significance of the proposed instrumental and diagnostic support is demonstrated by stating the level of student readiness to implement their chosen professional path, determining the available resources for further personal and professional growth, identifying vectors of near-term development, and providing support in forming a holistic personality of a specialist in the socio-humanitarian field. Prospects for further research include empirical verification of the proposed psychodiagnostic program for a comprehensive empirical study of the axiopsychological determinants of the act of self-determination of future psychologists.
