Функциональная роль духовного смысла в переживании духовного кризиса

Over the past decade, there has been a steady increase in theoretical and empirical work in the field of academic psychology devoted to the study of the phenomenon of spiritual crisis. By the present, a significant amount of data has been accumulated on the interrelationships of spiritual crisis with well-being and health, but understanding the mechanisms of overcoming this condition remains a "blind spot" of the research field. The objective of this work was to determine the functional role of spiritual meaning in the structure of a spiritual crisis. The longitudinal qualitative study was conducted in 2021 and 2023 and involved 18 informants with an experience of a spiritual crisis. By the method of grounded theory, the model of a spiritual crisis was built, in which the key point of recovery from the crisis is represented by the acquisition of a spiritual meaning. According to the resulting model, the experience of a spiritual crisis goes through the following stages: 1) the destruction of the former meaning system; 2) the discovery of a higher spiritual meaning; 3) the struggle for the establishment of a new meaning hierarchy; 4) acquisition and incorporation of a spiritual meaning into the meaning system; 5) spiritual meaning as the "engine" of a different form of regulation. It is proposed to discuss the prospects of considering a spiritual meaning as a functional organ of personality development not only beyond its own limits, but in the internal dialogue with the absolute truth.

Musical training has a significant impact on brain organization, leading to functional and structural
adaptations that enhance auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive processes. This study investigates how
extensive musical training shapes functional brain connectivity by comparing professional musicians and
non-musicians. Using EEG phase-locking value (PLV) analysis, we examined neural synchronization across
alpha, beta, and gamma frequency ranges during music ...

Abstract
Context and relevance. In the context of accelerated urbanization and a growing disconnect from the natural
environment, there is increasing interest in biophilic attitudes — a system of stable views, beliefs, and
evaluations that reflect a person’s relationship with living nature and shape their psychological well-being and
environmentally responsible behavior. Existing tools for their measurement, such as the ...

Resistance to change remains central to psychoanalytic practice: Patients often maintain dysfunctional
beliefs and relational patterns even when they recognize their destructive nature. While psychoanalysis has
richly described resistance as a defense against painful affect and threats to internal object relations, the
process-level dynamics through which resistance persists over time have remained incompletely articulated.

Personality psychology owes much of its cumulative success to self- and informant-report
assessment. Report-based trait constructs are reliable, replicable, predictive, and useful for organising a
wide range of findings. This paper argues that their success should be understood not only
methodologically, but also theoretically. I propose the attributional model of personality reporting,
according to which self- and informant-reported traits are ...

Background:
Numerous studies have shown that indigenous populations experience poorer health outcomes compared to people with other backgrounds. However, the interpretation of these disparities remains challenging due to differences in living conditions and social environments, as well as by potential measurement-related biases. Little is known about whether the underlying mechanisms of mental health outcomes differ between ...

Cognitive distortions are routinely described in cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and rational-emotive behavior (REBT) therapies as “errors in logic” or “illogical thinking.” While this terminology is pedagogically convenient, it often obscures a crucial conceptual distinction between violations of logical inference and problems related to the justification, scope, or evaluative force of belief content. In this paper, we do not ...

Interpersonal synchrony is increasingly conceptualized not as a static marker of rapport but as a dynamic, context-sensitive process that fluctuates across interactional phases to serve distinct relational functions. This study examined whether movement synchrony—absolute, non-absolute, client-leading, and counsellor-leading—was associated with therapeutic alliance in naturally occurring counselling sessions. Twenty-seven video recordings were analysed using motion energy ...

Предлагается концепция духовного смысла как ключевой психологической единицы анализа духовного измерения личности. В условиях глобальных кризисов и роста интереса к духовности, сопровождающегося методологическим плюрализмом и терминологической несогласованностью, возникает необходимость в научно обоснованной модели. В качестве альтернативы доминирующим трансперсональным подходам, размывающим границы науки, предлагается опора на отечественные теоретические традиции. Духовный смысл рассматривается как динамическая смысловая система, возникающая ...
