The paper presents the study of interdependence of the life values of the person and the specificities of behavior in interpersonal relationships. According to B. Ananyev's ideas about the integrity of the ontogeny and the unity and interdependence of all periods of human development, interpersonal communication is one of the key factors of every person's development throughout his/her life. We found out that for the students aged 18-20 the values of maintaining individuality, responsibility and tolerance are interrelated. Some specificities of their behavior among relatives and peers are revealed.  Awareness of one's own value and uniqueness, self-esteem contribute to the acceptance of another person, to the openness to his/her experience and views, as well as to assuming the responsibility in co-operation with others.
