Ethnopsychophysiology. Perspectives of formation

Abstract

The perspectives of human sciences systems isolation into a separate trend - ethnopsychophysiologies are debated. The timeliness and urgency of the study of psychophysiological peculiarities of people groups, bound by kinship and compactly dwelling under specific conditions in the same territory are determined by three reasons. Firstly, the presence of the hypothesis, needing proof, that the genotype and the national way of life of various ethnic groups define with its complex interaction a set of morphological, physiological and psychological attributes of the concrete person. Secondly, lack of common views about forming, development and preservation of health of the individual within the framework of separate ethnic groups. Thirdly, lack of convincing model conceptions on the mechanisms defining morphofunctional and psychophysiological originality of various ethnic groups.
