NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, CREATIVITY AND LIFE AS A REFLECTION OF THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD

Shakolyukova Valentina Dmitrievna, Kopaeva Nina Viktorovna

The patterns of formation of the psychology of peoples have always aroused the interest of scientists and ordinary people. Centuries-long observations, and then scientific research, have proven that the psychology of peoples is the result of a long-term influence on people of the features of the natural environment, the specifics of language and speech, and an established religion with its cults and rituals. Attention is drawn to the impact of the natural environment on the psychology of the individual and the people, the importance of which was noted by L.N. Gumilev, V.I. Vernadsky, V.O. Klyuchevsky, A.N. Afanasyev and other Russian and foreign scientists (“we are children of our environment”). The article notes that folk psychology is also determined by national self-awareness and national self-identity, the central axis of which is the “I” factor. The author pays special attention to faith and language, which are the basis of human socialization and his formation as an individual.
