2. He developed the theory of personality in which he explains that a person can, using a reflective consciousness, go beyond the boundaries of the necessary. Thus, Leontiev proposes to consider a person not at the level of development, but at the level of building himself.

3. The psychologist claims that art model life as activity. He proposes to study poetry as an emotionally and semantically rich text that affects consciousness, attitude and thinking as a whole.

3 facts about psychology:

1. Human psychology requires more choice. In one study conducted in the supermarket, researchers presented to participants 6 species of jam, and then 24 species of jam. And although people often stopped at the counter with 24 species of jam, they were 6 times more likely to bought a jam on the counter with 6 species of jam. This is simply explained: despite the fact that it seems to us that we want more, our brain can only cope with a limited number of elements at the same time.

2. According to statistics, at a time when a person is in a completely unfamiliar place, he will turn right all the time. So if you want to avoid the crowd, go to the left.

3. In 2009, a group of Scottish psychologists conducted an experiment, "losing" 240 wallets on the streets of Edinburgh, in which there were contact details of the owner. In total, 42% of the wallets were returned, but the return percentage varied greatly depending on what photograph was inside. So, the owners sent 88% of wallets that contained a photo of the baby, 53% with a photo of a pet, 48% with a total family photo, 28% with the image of an elderly couple, and only 15% of those where there was no photo at all.
