THE PERSONALITY RESEARCH METHOD

The article is devoted to the research of the fundamental problem of modern science ? personality psychology. The actual realization of a new methodological position (to understand a personality as an existing and self-developing unit), application of the genetic-modelling method of the research, the substantial analysis of the personality theories and empirical data allow to open essentially new aspects of the consideration of the personality as an object of the scientific study. The questions, traditional for the personality psychology, of its structure and formation are examined in the book in the context of the leading methodological paradigm; they open new ideas and patterns.
