New Psychological Research

Dear colleagues, I present the fourth and last in this year issue of our journal.
Qualitative methods are considered an important tool in modern psychology for studying the individual and society in a situation of uncertainty. O.T. Melnikova, relying on her vast practical experience in marketing research and the concept of social cognition by G.M. Andreeva, acted as the founder of what was effectively the first scientific school of qualitative research in Russian psychology.
Currently, in the complex and uncertain social world, various theories are developing to respond to the challenges of the new digital era. It seems that the concept of social cognition by G.M. Andreeva has not lost its relevance and retains its heuristic value today.
The concept of personality integrity as a cardinal characteristic of its multifaceted psychological functioning is actively discussed today in foreign and domestic psychological literature.
Research into neuroticism and its sources of formation in the family is a relevant topic, since high rates of this psychological characteristic are associated with the development of a number of serious problems, both in social interaction and in the field of physical and mental health.
The digitalization of the educational environment in today's society leads, that more and more adolescents are studying online and their socialization, unlike adolescents who study offline, may take place in different ways.
A significant body of publications is devoted to the problem of the image of the future of modern youth. But the studies touching upon the problem of representation of substantive and value-semantic aspects of the image of the future of contemporary youth, related to their realization both in real and online spaces are still insufficient, as well as studies of the factors of precarization of the image of the future of young generations, which determines the relevance of our study.
The article examines the personality traits of representatives of geek culture and the cosplay subculture. This hobby, originally popular only among a small circle, has now reached unprecedented popularity: massive festivals dedicated to cosplay and geek culture are held worldwide, drawing significant interest from large companies and the media.
This article is devoted to the study of the relationship between personal qualities and the propensity to risk behaviour.
In recent years, the problem of personal identity has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers. Personal identity is considered as one of the key foundations of human existence proper.
The reviewed article presents a conversation between physicist Rocco Gaudenzi (Department of Humanities, University of Verona, Verona, Italy) and philosopher, physicist, and theoretical neuroscientist Larry Abbott (Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, Columbia University, New York, USA).
This article provides the overview of the book “Interdisciplinarity in the making: models and methods in frontier science” by Nancy J. Nersessian, who is a professor of cognitive science at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Modernity is the subject of a wide range of research in the field of social sciences. The interest in the transformations of man and the world in modern conditions is accompanied by a restructuring of the disciplinary matrix of cognition, which is characterized by the spread of multi-paradigm, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches that solve the problems of integrating scientific knowledge.
