Special features of preschoolers' personal development before and during 7-years-crisis
(resume)
The authors consider personality as a
conglomeration of individual attitudes to object
and social environment and to self. Attitude to
self is leading; it reflects child's self-image
which is a result of individual activity and of
contacts with others. The changes in contents of
nuclear and peripheral structures of self-image in
late preschool age are connected to social
determinants and mark the turning point of child's
self-consciousness, entry into critical phase of
development. New formations of 7-years-crisis
integrate the results of psychic development and
determine its further direction.
