Функциональная роль духовного смысла в переживании духовного кризиса
Психология. Журнал Высшей школы экономики. 2025. Т. 22. № 1. С. 139–163.
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.
Keywords: spiritual meaning, spiritual crisis, regulation of personality, spiritual health, qualitative study.

It is generally accepted that the basis of social and legal stability in any society is a consensus on vir tue — the fundamental values of proper behavior, ways of maintaining and reproducing them.

Hypergraphs provide a natural framework for representing neurophysiological interactions distributed across sets of sensors. A key methodological question is how hyperedges should be defined from frequency-resolved electroencephalography/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) data. We demonstrate a construction strategy in which hyperedges are obtained from canonical coherence (caCOH), an extension of coherence that estimates coupling between multidimensional signal spaces. To ...

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 ...

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 ...

Precarious manhood theory (PMT) explains men's compensatory responses to masculinity threats in domains such as affect, aggression, risk-taking, dominance, and social attitudes. While recent meta-analytic evidence suggests that masculinity threat has a small-to-medium average effect, recent preregistered replication work has failed to reproduce some influential masculinity-threat effects in a large representative sample, raising questions about ...

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 ...
