Abstract

The article deals with the psychological aspect of the phenomenon of freedom. The theoretical analysis of the psychological approaches to the discovery of the essence of psychological phenomenon of freedom in foreign and native sources is done. It is proposed the theoretical model of psychological freedom of personality.

The concept of freedom changes significantly with age, depends on the level of development, thinking, personality, self-awareness, morality, as well as the integrity of the individual in the group, society, culture. It bears the imprint of ideas on freedom adopted at this level of development of society, determined by the orientation to freedom of age groups. In defining freedom in an integrated form, the social significance of this category is combined with individual understanding - the result of personal experience of encountering obstacles, overcoming addictions.

Analyzing the idea of freedom, attitude to it and its achievement, we can say that it depends on many reasons, including age and individual characteristics, personality traits, the level of development of spiritual potential, consciousness and reflection, the system of education and training, norms , rights and laws adopted in society. Personality is the subject of life and the subject of its development, a person in non-classical psychology appears in a special sense - in the sense of the master and the bearer of freedom, the ability to self-determination, the ability to act as a cause and source of their actions. In this sense, freedom defines the ontology of human existence as a creature capable of self-determination, self-development, it characterizes its natural essence, which, however, is not manifested in every individual being.

In general, the view of the inner freedom of the individual as a psychological phenomenon is presented, reflecting the semantic aspects of human relations with the world. Allows you to study it as an integral structure of personal experience and characteristic of the mental model of the world of personality. Within which some of its components act as markers of inner freedom.
