The article describes personality traits associated with victimhood as a pattern/strategy of interpersonal interaction: early maladaptive schemas, impaired sense of safety, interpersonal intolerance of uncertainty, and rigidity. The methodology of the empirical study and the results obtained are also described. It was found that groups of respondents with different degrees of victimhood differ significantly in terms of the severity of all early maladaptive schemas and their domains, interpersonal intolerance of uncertainty, rigidity, as well as basic beliefs about the benevolence of the surrounding world, the value and significance of one’s own self, and luck. At the same time, the groups do not differ statistically significantly in terms of the level of expression of the basic belief in the fairness of the surrounding world, and in terms of the level of expression of the basic belief in control, significant differences were found only between the group with a low degree of victimhood and the group with a high degree of victimhood. Different degrees of victimhood – medium and high – are characterized by different patterns of individual personality traits, which may indicate different mechanisms underlying their formation and functioning.
