Abstract

An attempt is made to describe standard structure of psychological theories. Three basic elements of this struc­ture are elicited - center, periphery and implicit area. The central component is formed of general distinctive image of psychological reality, central category, corresponded phenomena, set of main concepts and relations between them (“net of relations”) and basic propositions. The peripheral area of a theory is divided into theo­retical part properly that consists of accessory propositions and system of their argumentation and empirical part that is formed from confirmative empirical and workaday experience. The implicit area includes unformal­ized personal and group knowledge, personal and group emotions as well as the standards of conduct.

Keywords
