Understanding as Psychology of Possible

We have investigated the ratio of real and possible in the research. Four methods of scientific analysis have been identified, applying which psychologists should consider the relationship between the real and the possible in the study of understanding. The first method is a philosophical way of analyzing a problem. The second is the general scientific context, according to which the actual always includes the potential. This method of analysis from the beginning of the 20th century was used in natural science and humanitarian methodology to justify the transition from classical to non-classical and post-non-classical science. In the third method of scientific research, the emphasis is made on analyzing the correlation of the real and the possible in the development of social formations and social sciences, their significance, "specific weight" in the "consumer society", "knowledge society" and "experiencing society". Finally, the fourth mode of reflection is the search for the prerequisites for creating the psychology of the possible in the psychological literature. The aim of the method is to justify the admissibility of a new field of psychological science allocation with the help of specific psychological data about possible I, alternative identity on the Internet, the ratio of anticipation and forecasting in mental activity. We describe the psychology of understanding as an interpretation of the real that includes the prediction of the possible.
