Abstract

The article reveals the results of the study of the peculiarities of the individual religiosity of future psychologists. Presented are peculiarities of religious self-identity and types of religious orientation of future psychologists, their attitude to the requirements of traditional religion, the foundations of doctrine and religious literature, the views of those who are being studied on a believer, as well as the structure of their individual religiosity. Analyzed, established by the authors, three religious orientations of future psychologists. The first is the traditional religious orientation with the domination of external religiosity, which is characterized by a superficial understanding of theological doctrine. The basic religious provisions and dogma remain out of the attention of such students and do not form the value system that they really want to be guided in their lives. A significant number of students are committed to non-traditional religiosity with an interest in magic rituals and occultism, to non-traditional transpersonal subjects. Their individual religiosity is a synthesis of faith in magic rituals and occultism and curiosity about mysterious phenomena, as well as certain philosophical concepts. For the third orientation of students, the tendency to combine traditional religiosity with non-traditional, religious beliefs of such students is eclectic, since they combine the views of various religious schools with a strong commitment to adherence to Christian traditions, but such students prefer the extra-church search for contact with the divine. This state of affairs causes concern to the authors, because the success of the future psychologist will necessarily affect his outlook settings, spiritual values and beliefs. The results require additional research into the problem of individual religiosity of future psychologists and close attention to this problem by all those involved in the training of future specialists in the field of psychology.

Key words: eclecticism of religious representations;  external religiosity;  individual religiosity;  internal religiosity;  religious orientation.
