AESTHETIC DIMENSION IN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH OF THE CULTURAL INFLUENCE OF EPOCH
In technologically developed countries, the beginning of the third millennium was marked by pronounced material and intangible changes, which caused people to experience a change in the general atmosphere of their existence and a change in the dominant mindset in society. Manifested in art, in the form of works that go beyond postmodernism, the changed attitude of the world soon began to be expressed at the domestic level, in the form of various forms of adaptive and non-adaptive behavior, subordinate to the aesthetics of the new era. The article justifies the need to supplement traditional psychological research focused on the study of the effects of instinctivity, rationality and morality on human behavior with a new, aesthetic dimension that reflects the influence of the atmosphere of the era in which he lives. The experience of the "spirit" of the era is considered as a manifestation of the emotional reflection of the configuration of pre-linguistic generalizations, formed on the basis of the emotional similarity of material and intangible manifestations characteristic of a particular historical period. The need to supplement psychological research with an aesthetic dimension is justified, which will allow you to begin to study not only why a person thinks and does this, but also in what form he does it, turning for himself certain aspects of reflected objective reality into catharctic experiences that cause moral cleansing of thoughts and feelings from obsolete cultural layers
