Abstract

The article considers the directions of further research development on the implementation of a sense of ownership in various spheres of life and social practices of an individual. It is shown that in addition to the positive impact, the feeling of ownership has its negative side. This raises the question of formation optimal level and manifestation of ownership, what negative and positive consequences an excessive manifestation of ownership can have, what a violation or immaturity of ownership can lead to. It is determined that most research on the psychological nature of property focuses on its individual manifestation. However, it requires a detailed study, including the empirical, how the collective sense of ownership differs from individual and collective and whether it contributes to the effectiveness of collective action. The issue of the impact of new forms of consumption on the living sense of ownership and the attentiveness of intangible property, especially in the conditions of virtual reality, is raised separately. Prospects for further scientific research and possible areas of practical application of the developed author's concept of an ownership sense realization in social practices are outlined. Based on a critical analysis of existing empirical research and reflective consideration, the following areas of further research are proposed: manifestation of material things ownership, territory, money, social relations, own body, virtual environment, civic sphere, as well as opportunities to use the data in both individual and group psychotherapeutic work, counseling and coaching. The necessity of introducing a scientifically substantiated concept into the daily practice of psychologists-practitioners is substantiated.
