The article substantiates the relevance of the problem of studying the perception of time in the subject-personal space. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, a description of the phenomenon of psychological time is given, the triad "past – present – future" is singled out, within which the development and formation of the personality takes place. In order to study the influence of individual psychological characteristics of a person on the subjective perception of time, the diagnostics of high school students was carried out (methods: “Semantic time differential”, “Methodology for studying self-relationship”). On the basis of the analysis of the empirical data obtained, the assumption is substantiated that the level of manifestation of the internal conflictness of a person influences the perception of the past, present and future time. The novelty of the work lies in the fact that the problem of subjective perception of time was studied taking into account age (early adolescence, characterized by the manifestation of an identity crisis and being poorly studied in terms of subjective perception of time) and psychological characteristics, in particular, the level of manifestation of internal conflict. In the course of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that well-being, a positive perception of oneself, self-confidence, the perception of the world and one's future as relatively stable, consistent and safe in early adolescence is due to the attitude towards the past, its emotional assessment.
