THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT MODELS

Psychological impact is an integral part of social life. The purpose of this work was to reveal theoretical and methodological bases of existing and possible promising models of psychological impact. The analysis revealed that the developed models of psychological impact typically describe a process of changing only one of the realities of human existence (experiential, socio-cultural or existential), as they predominantly rely on types of activity regulation associated with a particular reality. The corresponding reality, in turn, determines the type of determination of psychological effects within the model. The paper presents the images of the individual that underlie the impact models that rely on each of the types of human activity regulation. It is shown that different types of regulation form an integral multidimensional regulation of human activity in the world, demonstrating not only the possibility of simultaneous coexistence, but also mutual influence. The necessity of taking into account the multidimensional regulation of human activity in models of psychological impact, describing all three realities of being, using the multidimensional, complex image of the man, has been pointed out.
