The author analyzes the degree of development of the problem of this connection in domestic and foreign literature. On a sample of 412 subjects aged 18-75 years using the different methods the author reveals both the features of tolerance to ambiguity in women of different ages, and the nature of its relationship with indicators of identity crisis in women. It is shown that, although the relationship between tolerance to ambiguity and identity crisis is negative in the entire sample, there is a specificity of this relationship depending on age.
