PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS ACTUALIZATION OF A PERSON’S SCIENTIFIC POTENTIAL ON THE BASIS OF CULTURAL CREATIVITY

Abstract

The paper presents results of theoretical analysis of the psychological basis of actualization of scientific potential of the individual. The main components of the process of development of a scientist according to culture creative model are specified. Study of psychological mechanisms of scientific potential of the individual revealed that the most productive and meaningful approaches are axiological, activity and acmeological. There are two main groups of psychological mechanisms: the level of generalization (first), which includes system and structure of scientific potential of the individual; the level of functioning (second group), which includes under personal and socio-psychological mechanisms. Activation of these psychological mechanisms determines the quality of the scientific potential on different stages of development. Structure system mechanisms of scientific potential of the individual make value-semantic mechanisms, mechanisms of self subsystems in self-identification; exclusion; self actualization; satisfaction; reflexive mechanisms (system, object and metareflec-tions). The author states the value of research for cultural creativity and production of methods and means of development of scientific potential; structure of the psycho-social mechanisms constitute involvement in joint research activities, willingness to cooperate effectively in different communicative situations and positively affect other conditions for group work.
