Summary/Abstract: The present research is aimed at defining the determinants of chronic fatigue in young women. It was assumed that important mechanisms behind developing chronic fatigue consist in low noetic dimension of personality. 143 students aged between 19 and 24 were examined. The study was based on the Existential Noo-dynamic Test (ND-E) constructed by K. Popielski.Women with chronic fatigue have a low level of noetic dynamics. Fatigue is significantly associated with the lack of affirmation of life and the lack of acceptance of life. Fatigue in women is to a significant degree associated with lack of perseverance in achieving challenging targets and fear of responsibility for one’s actions.
