Соционический подход к изучению наций (english)

Socionical approachin studding of nations Ethnosocionicsconsider nations as psychoinformatoin systems integral persons , of which theJung s persons typology is true. VolodymyrScherbyna, Russia It is not new idea to considerethnos as integral person collective subject . This idea was advanced and was substantiated in theworks of Wilhelm von Humboldt, Nikolay Berdyayev, Nykolay Lossky, etc.

Inparticular Carl Jung wrote that people s psyche is only more compoundstructure than person s psyche . It is logically to consider this integralperson to be reasonable, i. e. this integral person has consciousness, memory,action logic, emotions. Ethnosocionics considers ethnos aspsychoinformation system, of which the persons typology is also true. In eachethnos there are persons of different psychological types. In spite of this theethnos is the macroorganism of the certain psychological type.

Just this oftento be named as national character . So this science studies ethnoses psychological types, features of their behaviour, mutual relations with othernations, etc. Ethnosocionics is one of thedirections of socionics, a young science, which was born on the boundarybetween psychology, sociology and information science. Socionics is based onthe Jung s typology andAugustinavichjute s

Intertypes Relations Theory. It is considering persons asbearers of the certain types of information metabolism, which are developingand interacting on the base of objective laws. Each person is being examined over 4main pairs of signs coordinates logical frac34 ethical emotional ,sensorical frac34 intuitional,rational frac34 irrational,extravert frac34 introvert. Whilestudding the concrete person one can determine the mentality type, this personinclined to logical

or emotional, concrete or abstract etc. Having determinedeach of 4 pairs of signs one determines the one of 16 sociotypes the personunder determination belongs to.

The bodyof person lives exchanging substance and energy with the outer world. And thepsyche part of the person lives sharing information with the outer world.

Allinformation, which person receives from the outside the information aboutouter world and from the inside the information about psychophysical state ofperson , is the common information stream. Each person can make out someaspects of information stream better then other ones. Psychological functionis the ability of person to make out one aspect of information stream.Socionics descries 8 aspects of information stream and 8 psychological functionsaccordingly.

These functions havegraphical conventional signs, names and duties In the SOCIONICS psychological socionical types have 3-letters conventional signs, and in the westernliterature 4-letters ones. abilities intuition the knock of human abilities feeling sensing of development s perspectives integral perception of the world, feeling of its unity, interdependency, reiteration on different levels of world s hierarchy understanding of the very essence of subjects and processes. time s intuition the

understanding of contradictions in outer world and in human psyche the understanding of opposites, which separate people and events feeling of danger aptitude for seeing vainness volitional sensorics aptitude for controlling of outer spaciousness ability for putting pressure on others and to stand up to anyone s pressure understanding of enemy s force and enforce power will to win authority of power sensation sensorics capacity for body s necessities satisfaction, sensation of own body beauty, design, turning

towards the high inner quality cosiness and comfort dynamic logic reasonable acting logic technology, process, method, procedure, rule, algorithm, conveyor, cause and effect, enterprise static logic aptitude for systematizing knowledge and phenomena deep understanding of logical correlation between objects facts system, hierarchy, classification, statistics, register and verification, machinery emotions ethics capacity for feeling persons emotional state, for its controlling ability for inspiring people with

joy, enthusiasm or fear, horror, anxiety, panic. relations ethics world s perception through people s relations the ability for adjusting needing relations sense of duty tolerance, love, kindness, charity, humanity It is established that eachsociotype has his own number of the strong and weak psychologicalfunctions. On this base the person s psyche functioning model sociomodel ismade. The socionical model helps to understand how to use person s strong features and to defend weak ones

it also helps to understand mechanism ofmutual relation between people. Intertypes Relations Law is based on theunderstanding of sociomodel s functioning. This Law defines features of theinformation exchange and mutual relations between sociotypes. So ethnosocionics usessocionical laws and methods and studies - socionical types ofethnoses and nations national characters - their history,relations with neighbours and other nations - nation sconstruction

and national-state construction - national leaders their accordance with the epoch and with the national sociotype - national elite sconstruction its accordance with the nation. The knowledge of nation s sociotypeoffers to approach scientifically to strategic planning of state s development like the knowledge of person s sociotype helps in profession choosing As the example, let us considerbriefly how to determine one pair of main signs logical pragmatic or

ethical emotional the nation under examination is?Some features oflogical pragmatic nations 1. main criteria inthis societies are logical-unlogical, correct-uncorrect, cleverly-foolishly,advantageous-disadvan tageous, economical-uneconomical etc. Actions of othernations, states and persons are estimated from the point of view of logic,reason, activity and not of the emotion maintenance kindness, sympathy, responsiveness etc. 2. They try to solvetheir problems by themselves, with the help of their own abilities.

As a rulethey don t ask somebody and don t persuade somebody. They prove their rightnessby deeds and unanswerable arguments.3. Their promises aremore reliable. Their care of truth stirs up the real esteem it is not thedeclaration but really truth it is not the formal replay but really law, thissociety lives under.4. Fashion and manyother human society s dynamic attributes are changing more slowly in thesenations than

in emotional ones. One of the cause is the pragmatic advantage tobe one of the paramount values of such nations.5. Constructive logicin these nations restrains influence of social myths. New myths are being bornbecause of the shortage of needing information. But the existence of the newsocial myth in these nations is short and expedient.Some features ofethical emotional nations 1. Pragmatism is notstrong virtue of such nations.

Main criteria in these societies are well-bad,human-unhuman, honestly-dishonestly, will be offended - will not be offendedetc.2. Truth and untruthhave relative character, not absolute one it is seemed to be good all, that ispleasant for people sometimes even if it is not truth . By this reason lawshave less rigid functions in these nations.3. These nations aremore spontaneous while contact with other societies and cultures.

Their ethicsis creative, initiative and primary before logic.4. There are manyimpulsive and unreasoned in these nations. Forces of pragmatic and scientificconstructing are not enough developed. Utter emotions don t afraid people inthese nations. It is seemed often that people seek them intentionally.5.

The influence ofsocial myth is stronger in these nations than in logical ones. Myth caninterprets each event. Often political leader wins elections because ofpeople s sympathy and not because of his program. While using this approach we candetermine as logical next nations Americans, Canadians, Danes, English,Germans, Japanese, Jews, Lithuanians, Scots etc. We can determine as ethicalnext nations

Austrians, Belorussians, French, Greeks, Hungarians, Poles,Russians, Ukrainians etc. The similar approach is used whiledefining other pairs of signs. Psychological features of nations are expressedin language, literature, art, religion, science, mythology, nation-stateconstruction and other sides of social life. While studding these expressions onecan draw a conclusion about the mentality type, the nation inclined

to,prognose probable trend of development and mutual relations with other nations.
