Title: Foundations Of Diagnosing An Individual’s Intellectual And Creative Giftedness Authors: Palii, Anatolii Abstract: The article argues for the urgency of research on an individual’s intellectual and creative giftedness and emphasizes the theoretical, psychological, pedagogic, and socio-economic significance of the problem. It is claimed that the psychological practices in education may result in negative consequences through lack of high validity methods of diagnosing mental (intellectual and creative) giftedness. The selection of relevant psychodiagnostic procedures and methods of working with gifted individuals must be determined by a psychologically substantiated systemic theory of giftedness which is based on contemporary ideas of uniqueness and originality of the above-mentioned integral phenomena of the human psyche. The author provides a critical analysis of the psychometric (testometric) approach to diagnosing intellectual and creative giftedness (IQ index and creativity index). It is claimed that standardized tests are a priori unfit to objectively measure either the actual or the potential mental giftedness of an individual. The article explores the classifications of giftedness types in terms of quantitative criteria (indices), personality traits, occupations, motivation. The author questions the correctness of positing ‘creativity’ as an independent type of giftedness. It is argued that mental (intellectual and creative) giftedness is an inseparable structural and functional unity, a systemic attribute of psyche and is revealed as talents, personality traits and metacognitive experience in various activities.

Title: An Individual’s Gender Experience: Socio-Cultural Context Authors: Zahrai, Larysa Abstract: The article highlights gender experience development in an individual. The socio-cultural context of gender identity development is addressed from the perspective of social constructivism. The author describes the mechanism of constructing gender schemas and norms which reflect socio-cultural experience. Drawing on poststructuralist ideas, the author explores cultural texts which encode assumptions and concepts that serve as schemas for perceiving and understanding reality, for reflecting the processes of an individual’s development as a discursive being in his or her interpretation of socio-cultural experience. The article also analyzes masculinity and femininity models shaped by socio-cultural schemas and explores gender role expectations among the young people in Ukraine.

Title: Ukraine And The East: Culturological Aspect Authors: Pylypiuk, Oleh Abstract: Modern Oriental studies regard the East as the cradle of the world’s civilization, a web of unique cultural formations. Within the modern East–West paradigm, the research into the values of tradition should be underpinned by dominant axiological concepts in order to systematize contemporary ideas of the world, nature, the individual and mentality. In accordance with the central methodological principle of the research, archetypes are regarded as cultural universals. In the article, the typology of the cosmological and the spiritual elements (the Moon and the Word respectively) in the Oriental and Ukrainian traditions are highlighted, the emphasis being laid on the analysis of the semantic and thematic fields of the two archetypes.
