TO THE QUESTION OF NEW PARADIGMS IN MODERN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE JUSTIFICATION

Abstract

In modern psychology it is possible to state significant changes in the methodological structure, understanding of the essence of the mental, the approach to the implementation of empirical research, which reflects the changes in the "paradigmatic framework" of psychological science. Such changes are due to the complex influence of modern psychological science formation internal laws and the new demands declared by society to modern psychologists, theorists and practitioners. The methodological reorientation of psychological science reflects a gradual departure from the previously prevailing Soviet methodological principles of activity or cultural-historical approaches, positivist views on the mental nature towards giving maximum attention to the human subjectivity and identity manifestations. To date, for psychological science is no longer sufficient consideration of the psyche as a "reactive organism that is realized in activity", or "a person who responds to environmental influences or is subject of unconscious impulses"…
