Methodological principles of the research on psychological factors of the statement and manifestations of politico-legal consciousness of personality
Abstract
There are analyzed the content levels of conceptual ideas and starting points for the research on psychological factors which influence the process and the result of the active personal reflection of politico-legal reality and the manifestations of politico-legal consciousness of the individual in politico-legal situations. There are made the necessary clarifications of the psychological content that scientists put into such socio-psychological phenomena as “political and legal culture”, “political and legal identity”, “political and legal competence”, which are traditionally considered as manifestations of the development of politico-legal consciousness (PLC). The comparison of these various manifestations of political-legal consciousness in a common semantic space is analyzed. Specific aspects of the consciousness functioning are analyzed through a number of scientific approaches, among which the provisions of the structural-content, procedural and phenomenological approaches are substantiated in persons life tasks solving. It is shown that since in each of these scientific approaches the specific aspects of the functioning of consciousness are revealed, the result of these studies is also the exudation of specific groups of socio-psychological factors in the PLC formation. So the structural-content approach, which studies the characteristics of the existing system of human attitude to reality, allows to highlight the structuralcontent factors of the PLC formation. Procedural approach, aimed at studying the ways of this system constructing, highlights the communicative factors of the PLC formation. Phenomenological approach, focused on the definition of supersituational characteristics of the individual’s functioning as a subject of politico- legal selfdetermination, allows to analyze the functional factors of the PLC formation. Regarding to the above-mentioned statements it is distinguished the three groups of socio-psychological factors of politico-legal consciousness formation: structuralcontent, communicative and functional
