Abstract

The study is devoted to the topical problem of psychological characteristics of creative and meta-creative components of academic success of future psychologists. Among the main research priorities are the definition of modern theoretical and methodological prerequisites for the analysis of the creative and meta-creative components of the academic success of psychology students in the third year of study, the empirical characterization of their psychological structure and functions, and the deepening of available scientific information about the psychological structure of the academic success of future psychologists. The success of the academic activity of the future psychologist should be considered based on the positively perceived result of personally determined academic activity, which was reflected in the productive interaction with the existing academic and professional environment, and the ultimate goal of which was the realization of one’s own educationalpsychological and practical psychological needs. The creativity of the future psychologist is best understood as an essential professional characteristic of the individual, his motivated ability for innovative theoretical-psychological and practical psychological activity, which is determined by a number of non-linear, multi-level, multi-categorical characteristics of a person who creates in the process of academic-professional functioning. It was empirically proven that in the third year of higher education, the creativity and meta-creativity of the future psychologist as components of his academic success are characterized primarily by mnemonic reflection as the ability to understand memory processes, the ability to detail verbalized images as a characteristic of verbal creativity, the ability to create original verbal images as a characteristic verbal creativity and metamnemic reproduction as a characteristic of his metamemory.
