Keywords: freedom, arbitrariness, principles of social processes development, space of social interaction

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of social and psychological characteristics of individual freedom space. The concept of freedom, in terms of socio-psychological processes, is represented by three basic vectors: Forms of interpersonal interaction (community - society); Degree of probability (arbitrariness - given); The principle of social processes development (naturalness - artificiality). According to certain vectors, freedom finds its manifestation as: a natural process, which has many possibilities for deployment and is realized in a horizontal direction of interpersonal interaction. It is noted, that freedom is lost: in the process of institutionalization of organizational forms; with appearing of formalism, legitimacy, normative features, regulation; in the presence of hierarchy, subordination and vertical relationships in the group. It has been found out, that according to the vector, form of interpersonal interaction, freedom is mostly present in communities, which are united by a network principle. Civic organizations, communities, associations provide an opportunity for self-expression of the individual, since there is no dictate of group norms. According to this vector, freedom can be analyzed, not as an organization from community to society, but as a way of interaction of feelings, thoughts, actions, ways of thinking. It has been analyzed that according to the vector, the development of social processes, freedom is observed in everything, which is natural. It is a space of natural experiences, feelings and states, any artificiality and control is a sign of lack of freedom. It has been shown that according to the probability vector, freedom is manifested in the processes, where an arbitrary scenario is observed. This is a space for goal setting, building up one’s own activities. According to each vector, the degree of probability of freedom is analyzed.
