Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of life creativity and its main factors. The concept of life creativity which has been worked out by Ukrainian and Russian psychologists is very relevant in modern science and is being still developed. It is considered as a special, integrated type of the individual’s activity aimed at the creative arranging of life events that is typical for adulthood as it needs a high level of personal development. The factors of life creativity (creativity, hardiness, personal integration) are gradually developing in ontogenesis. Taking into consideration the provision of psychoanalyses about childhood imperativeness, the author pays special attention to early stages of personal development as an important period of life creativity factors formation. To illustrate the mechanisms of childhood experience influence on the life creativity process, T. Shevchenko’s life and works were analyzed. It was found out that the levels of his creativity and hardiness were comparatively high due to his special emotional experience. At the same time exquisite situations experienced in childhood were the main cause of personal disintegration that affected the character of his individual life creativity. Psychological defense mechanisms were formed to protect the psyche from the consequences of inner conflicts. Having been an effective means of managing the conflict, they are used permanently interfering with objective reality perception. So, poet’s life creativity process cannot be considered as fully conscious act due to the influence of depth psychological defense mechanisms. As a result, an important role of childhood experience in life creativity factors formation was substantiated. The influence of the unconscious sphere on life creativity process was traced.
