PSYCHOLOGICAL MECHANISMS OF ECONOMIC SOCIALIZATION IN CONDITIONS OF AN UNSTABLE ECONOMY
Abstract
Relevance. The aim of this article is to highlight the results of a theoretical and methodological analysis of the psychological mechanisms of economic socialization in the context of an unstable economy.
Methodology. Research methods include analysis, synthesis, and generalization of scientific sources on the problem of psychological determination of economic socialization, as well as the method of theoretical modeling.
Results. Economic socialization mechanisms are defined as psychological processes of mutual influence between the subjects of economic benefit appropriation, which ensure the development of personal qualities. These mechanisms become relevant in situations of intersubjective interaction. As a result, there are changes in the key characteristics of an individual as a bearer of the culture of economic activity. This system of mechanisms is shown to be complex, hierarchical, and unfolds on different levels of socializing influence: interpersonal and intrapersonal. Interpersonal socializing mechanisms serve as external conditions and means of activating intrapersonal mechanisms of personal change.
The properties of the psychological mechanisms of economic socialization are described. It is shown that the mechanism can be both a substantial, static formation and simultaneously a process that develops over time; it serves as a means of personal change and is primarily activated in the space of intersubjective economic interaction, leading to the demonstration, transmission, and embodiment of the canonical content of society’s economic culture in everyday practices. Those psychological processes that ensure its internalization and transformation into the inner content of an individual’s consciousness are intrapersonal mechanisms of economic socialization.
Concluseon. A structural-goal model of the psychological mechanisms of economic socialization of a young person is presented as an attempt to generalize our vision of the systemic nature of the activation and functioning of interconnected processes that determine and ensure the formation and lifelong development of an individual’s economic qualities as a subject of the economy. The functioning of the system of psychological mechanisms of socialization is shown according to the principle of isomorphism.
