The relationship of the world image and lifestyle

Abstract

The necessity of the development of the psychological concept of “lifestyle” as dichotomist to the concept of the “image of the world.” Im­age of the world as an integral basis of perception and integrated system of values of the subject, can not be explained from itself. To analyze the origin, structure and functioning of the image of the world must be con­sidered an integral system of the subject’s activity. Structured on the basis of the hierarchy of motives system relevance of the subject is his way of life. We give the definition and structure of individual lifestyles, problem descriptions and examples of joint image of the world and lifestyle.
On the need for a psychological category “lifestyle” to describe the way the world generally accepted in the national psychology concept of “hierarchy of mo­tives” obviously implies the existence of hierarchic system of activities of the sub­ject, which he sells, or in which it is included (which is the subject of the group, Company). Continuing to use a very productive principle of the national psychology of the twentieth century., The essence of which is that the understanding of the nature of mental activity necessitates the study of its relationships with external practical activity, we can say: understanding the nature of integrated mental forma­tions requires the study of their relationship is not one single activities, and with the whole system implemented by stakeholders. Paradoxically, in the national psychol­ogy is still no term, concept, which characterizes the entire system actually imple­mented by stakeholders. For further work on the structural and functional image of the world is such a thing must be entered as it is the system actually implemented activities and the subject is the actual activity of the subject (the characteristic of subjectivity), and super system his image of the world, and perhaps subsystem allo­cated for the analysis of consciousness, group activity, and society as a stakeholder. The use of such concepts for reasoning inevitable that left more than one domestic authors use in the relevant context, the term “lifestyle”, without defining it. More globally – all the problem of describing the relationship of various mental processes and phenomena can not be resolved outside of their consideration as part of a broader problem of security (these processes and phenomena) practice of the sub­ject. V.P.Zinchenko and D.A.Leontiev believe that the starting point for the theo­retical understanding of the problem “of the psychological world,” “image of the world” for the A.N.Leontiev was the category of life. With the help of the concept of “image of the world” describes exactly the integral image, that is, the phenom­enon that exists in terms of ideal representations. Image of the world, making it the perfect, from itself (regardless of activity) is not formed, and shall not be disclosed.
