INTEGRATION OF KNOWLEDGE IN MODERN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE: CROSS-THEORETICAL INTEGRATIONS AND EMPIRICAL MODELS

The concepts of cross-theoretical and empirical integrations are taken into consideration at the methodological, theoretical, empirical, practical levels. Some conditions for integration theories highlighted analyzed. Among them differentiation, potential generalization, dynamic structures divergent functions, levels multidimensionality, mediation, relativity complementarity, integrative qualities. Particular attention is paid to three kinds commonality, namely, causal, generalizing intertwining ones. These varieties commonality theoretical in nature, they need support. For this, first all, be converted operationalized. operationalization their study propose criteria such as time. Confirmatory factor analysis (one-factor two-factor) use examine commonality. Structural equation modeling used investigate mediation. time distinguishes between present, future relation an updated present (realized future).
