DECENTRATION DEVELOPMENT IN THE PERIOD OF GERONTHOGENESIS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of decentration development in order to harmonize human life in the period of gerontogenesis and, indirectly, its social and cultural environment. To solve the above mentioned tasks the research was carried out, the main purpose of which is to prove experimentally the possibility of ascending intellectual development of a person throughout the ontogenesis, including its final period – was carried out. The results of the study indicate that during the period of gerontogenesis in person, a natural decrease in the level of decentralization may occur at the background of the development of egocentrism, which decreases in direct proportion to decrease in its intellectual development. Manifestations of egocentrism of the elderly person can be considered in the context of a specific psychological protective reaction of the psyche in response to
the complexity of solution of the last existential problem.
