INFLUENCE OF THE INTUITIVE STYLE OF COGNITION ON THE FORMATION OF IRRATIONAL ATTITUDES
The quality of a person's life indirectly depends on his ability to perceive the world around him as he is. The establishment and reduction of the influence of irrational attitudes on perception and behavior greatly contribute to the elimination of mental distortions. This article discusses one of the types of such attitudes - belief in «extrasensory», which, in our opinion, is an intuitive process of learning a new and inexplicable phenomenon. Information at the level of intuition about such a phenomenon is replaced by a conscious or rational level. This change occurs at the moment when the properties of the phenomenon are realized, and their not always visible connection is abstractly taken into account. At the same time, the need sphere of the subject can slow down or speed up this process. The purpose of the article is to conduct a study aimed at forming an irrational attitude, studying its dynamic aspect in the form of expectation (readiness for perception) of an «extrasensory» phenomenon, and establishing a connection with an intuitive style of cognition. According to the results of the study, an irrational set was formed, its dynamic characteristics were determined in the form of an expectation of an «extrasensory» phenomenon, and a strong connection was found between the irrational attitude and the intuitive style of cognition. This topic is poorly covered in the scientific literature and needs theoretical and experimental research.
