System crisis in psychology
A.V. Yurevich
The main reasons and manifestations of contemporary crisis in psychology are considered
and systematized. The author shows that it is most evident due to the absence of
scientific unity. There is a gap between research and practical applications and
parascience's increasing rivalry. These phenomena arise from general crises of
rationalism, fundamental science and positive model of cognition.
The influence of senior preschoolers' intellect on educative efficacy
G.P. Antonova, Z.I. Ikunina, I.P. Antonova, N.A. Antonova
The developmental levels of verbal and non-verbal intellect as compared to the
characteristics of analytic-synthetic activity in 6-year-olds were experimentally
investigated. The instructions were given in abstract (1 stage) and in concrete-graphic (2
stage) forms. It was shown that (1) preschoolers' analytic-synthetic activity was closely
connected to their intellectual characteristics and (2) educative efficacy is influenced
not only by the developmental level of intellectual and analytic-synthetic activity, but
by their components ratio.
On gender analysis usage in psychological studies
N.K. Radina
Gender analysis contrary to traditional is based on holistic socio-cultural matrix and
allows to under-stand the reasons of gender differences other than biological ones. The
examples of gender analysis usage on identity and self-appraisal development in senior
preschoolers and junior schoolchildren studies show their advantages in problem
comprehension.
System differentiation principle in ecological education
G.N. Karopa
The author employs classical notions of neuro-psychology and some findings of
psycholinguistics for the analyzing of ecological education problems. Several practical
recommendations are offered.
"Activity subject" in creativity context
D.B. Bogoyavlenskaya
An approach to the notions of creativity and giftedness free of giftedness interpretation
as an explanatory principle is offered. An attempt to represent their operational
psychological content is made. Self-governed development of activity not prompted by
utilitary need (situative un-stimulated productive activity) is considered to be a
manifestation of real creativity.
Students-psychologists' professional notions
A.I. Dontsov, G.M. Belokrylova
The results of Moscow university students-psychologists' examination on their professional
notions and their dynamics during education are presented. These notions are found to be
formed on the border of scientific-psychological and everyday practical cognition of human
psychological nature and that of society. As a result students' views are contra-dictory,
eclectic, stereotypical. Professional notions structure and functions are described.
Emotion categorization empirical analysis
D.V. Lusin
Inner structure of the notion "emotion" in the framework of prototypic approach
is analyzed. The characteristics of productive frequency, prototypicity, categorical
dominance were studied on representative sample. The notion of "emotion" has
graduated inner structure and indistinct borders substantiating prototypical approach.
Culture, emotions and psychic health
A.B. Kholmogorova, N.G. Garanyan
The most important factor in the rise of the number of emotional disturbances is
considered to be negative attitude toward emotions and rationalization characterizing
modern culture. Multi-level psychological model of depressive and somato-form
disturbances, including cultural, family, interpersonal and personal factors is offered.
The cult of success, achievement and strength leads to prohibition of feeling and negative
emotions manifestations combined with general rise of stressogenic circumstances. The
problems of emotional education in the family are discussed.
Human nature according to A.Maslow concepts
A.A. Piskoppel
The concept of human being inner nature is the central core of A. Maslow's humanistic
psychology program. His spiritual testament - "Toward a psychology of being" -
contains two models, two views on human inner nature. One of them represents it from the
position of ethical naturalism as inner quite individual and self-reliant factor of human
full value. The other approach considers human inner nature to be a result of specific
vital material's development beginning with the start of ontogenesis. The features of the
second model are analyzed and interpreted with the aid of cultural-anthropological
imprinting notion.
Humanism with a face of cultural- anthropological prototype: russian variant
A.B. Orlov
The author carries on a controversy with A.A. Piskoppel's understanding of A. Maslow's
concept of human being inner nature. The detailed critical commentary on A.A. Piskoppel's
publication is offered. The analysis of A. Maslow's position and conceptual approaches
shows some typical errors (projections) committed by Russian (Soviet) psychology when it
tries to cope with American humanistic psychology. All efforts to "develop" A.
Maslow's "basic assumptions" in the direction of social (cultural) behaviorism
are cast doubt on.
A. Binet as one of the founders of experimental psychology
A.A. Nikolskaya
The author describes scientific works of famous French psychologist and their impact on
contemporary and modern psychology.
