Complementary model of personality self-determination ; Комплементарная модель самодетерминации личности

Introduction. The relevance of studying the phenomenon of self-determination is substantiatedby the compliance of this research problem with two actively developing areas of personalitypsychology – the psychology of a change and the psychology of a possible. The variety ofmanifestations of personality self-determination, the complexity and uniqueness of this phenomenonnecessitate the generalization of existing theoretical developments, ideas and concepts, as wellas accumulated empirical material. Modern Russian authors formulate theoretical prerequisitesfor the study of self-determination in the framework of the subject-activity approach, however,providing empirical research, they are often based on the methodology of foreign colleagues.The originality of the present work consists in the search for new methodological foundations forthe study of personality self-determination. Theoretical justification. The complexity and ambiguityof the phenomenon of self-determination enhance the differentiation of theoretical approachesto its description. The researchers focus on different levels of manifestations of self-determination:the nature-conditioned ability to self-organization and the innate need for autonomy of theindividuum, the processes of self-regulation of behavior and activity by the Subject, the mechanismsof the formation of subjectity and the development of the Self, as well as personality’s ways torealize a freedom and an intentionality. Along with a wide variety of theories and concepts,there is a deficiency of systemic and complex models. Results. The authors of the article firstproposed the complementary model of self-determination, which allows to integrate existingtheoretical approaches to research through a level-by-level consideration of individ’s, subject’sand personality characteristics. The basic level of spontaneous (functional) self-determinationcorresponds to the principles of self-organization of complex open non-equilibrium systems witha naturally conditioned ability to self-deterministic ...
