Ivanchenko A. Psychology of the Personality's Creativity: theoretical, methodological and applied aspects

This thesis is devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of creativity as a personal phenomenon, which manifests itself in the form of an integral permanent person's orientation. The historical and psychological analysis of "creativity" has been carried out. For the first time the separation of the "creativity" concept with its Russian-language equivalent, as well as the expediency of introducing two Russian-English terminological pairs of these notions (i.e., "творчество (Russian)=creativity" and "креативность (Russian)=creative life-orientation") have been realized with the aim to demarcate the psychological essence and the conceptual-terminological context, being included inside these phenomena. The conceptual model of the creative life-orientation has been created, the priority role of the spirituality in the process of its disclosure has been proved. Its functional components, disclosure conditions, mechanism, positive recreational and life-transforming influence on the existence have been determined. The creative life-orientation is defined as an antistressor with a long-term sanitizing effect. On the basis of universal synergetic culturological-existential system approach the psycho-pedagogical technology of the creative life-orientation manifestations in the language acquisition has been created. The longitudinal experiments have confirmed the disclosure of the creative life-orientation as well as the intensification of the linguistic teaching process, namely: increased motivation, social activity index, psycho-emotional stability, psychophysiological stressoresistance and modus vivendi indicators.
