On the Invariance and Variability of Psychological Phenomena Using the Example of Educational Deprivation

This paper considers aspects of variability and invariance of psychological phenomena in the context of systemic anthropological psychology. The purpose of the research is to build a theory of identification of psychological development trends in educational environments. Hypothesis. Psychological phenomena not only fit into a certain human life context, but also are the effects of "generative interaction", that is, they manifest the emergent properties of psychological systems, corresponding to the development trends of both the world and the individual, and are interpreted in the ternary logic of "phenomenon-context-interaction". Objectives. The explication of the variable and invariant (universal) properties of a psychological (multidimensional) phenomenon designates specific meanings that identify the development situation, which in turn makes it possible to scale images of consciousness (descriptions, understandings, interpretations) into larger or smaller orders, such as systems, objects, and elements. Method. The proposed approach was used for a phenomenological study of the experience of educational deprivation. Data. In the case of experiencing educational deprivation, which is typical for modern higher education, a risk factor for loss of the ability to develop was identified due to fixation on one of the phases, the "educational drama" phase. The research continues to solve the problem of expanding and complementing the discourse of systemic anthropological psychology. The results made it possible to describe the phenomenon of educational deprivation as a system in the categories of variation-invariance, as an object in terms of educational drama and as an element of the educational environment in terms of frustration, harmony of life path, desymphonization of goals, motives, expectations, results, etc. The research results are used in the project to develop a platform for selfdetermination and mobilization of human potential.
