There are a lot of problems in Ukrainian science. Old fashioned educational programs and students who are not interested in personal growth and professional development are some of them. We believe that all these results in misunderstanding and mistrust to the psychological science in Ukraine. People of different age might use psychological knowledge in everyday life more often – in case of solving personal difficulties problems or for improving quality of life. The results of empirical study of use of psychological knowledge among ordinary people are presented.
