Psychology of cooperation

Cooperation as a law of development

In the New Psychology of DREVO, cooperation is considered one of the fundamental principles of the development of man, society and civilization.

Life develops not only through competition, but also through cooperation.

• Cells unite into tissues.
• Tissues form organs.
• Organs create the organism.
• People create families.
• Families form communities.
• Communities shape society.
• In all of these systems, resilience arises from the ability to interact.

What is collaboration?

Cooperation is a voluntary unification of people's efforts to achieve a common goal, in which each participant retains his or her individuality and at the same time contributes to the common good.

• Cooperation does not mean sameness.
• It means the ability to integrate differences.
• Each person has his own knowledge, experience and talents.
• It is diversity that makes collaboration stronger.

Biological basis of cooperation

• The human body itself is an example of cooperation.
• Billions of cells work in a coordinated manner.
• The immune system interacts with the nervous system.
• The brain coordinates the work of the body.
• Disruption of cooperation between systems leads to disease.

This principle can be seen as a metaphor and a source of ideas for understanding social processes, although society and the organism are not completely identical systems.

Psychological foundations of cooperation

Collaboration requires the development of several qualities:

• trust;→
• respect;→
• responsibility;→
• empathy;
• listening abilities;
• ability to negotiate;
• willingness to share knowledge;
• ability to admit mistakes;
• ability to seek a common solution.

Without these qualities, joint activities become unstable.

Competition and cooperation

Competition and cooperation are not absolute opposites.

Competition can stimulate the development of individual skills, new ideas and improved quality.

Collaboration allows us to combine these achievements for greater impact.

A mature society knows how to use the advantages of both approaches without turning rivalry into destructive conflict.

Obstacles to cooperation

Cooperation is weakened by:

• distrust;
• fear;
• lie;
• excessive egoism;
• desire for total control;
• injustice;
• lack of a common goal;
• destructive communication.

When people stop trusting each other, developing together becomes much more difficult.

How is cooperation developing?

Cooperation starts small.

First, a person learns to cooperate:

• with myself;
• with his family;
• with friends;
• with the team;
• with the local community;
• with society;
• with humanity.

Each new level requires more trust, maturity and responsibility.

Cooperation and creation

True creation is rarely the result of one person's efforts.

Most scientific discoveries, engineering projects, cultural works, educational systems and social initiatives arise from the pooling of knowledge and efforts of many people.

Therefore, cooperation becomes the main instrument for the development of civilization.

The Psychology of Future Cooperation

The future requires the ability to cooperate not only between people.

Humanity must develop cooperation:

• between generations;
• between cultures;
• between states;
• between science and society;
• between man and technology;
• between man and nature.

The more complex the tasks of civilization become, the greater the role played by the ability to combine efforts.

The main principle

True strength does not come from one person becoming stronger than others.

True strength is born when people help each other become stronger.

It is cooperation that transforms a multitude of individuals into a community, a community into a society, and a society into a creative civilization.

Definition

Cooperation is a voluntary and responsible association of people to achieve a common goal, based on trust, respect, fairness and mutual development.

In New Psychology DREVO, the psychology of collaboration studies the conditions under which people are able to combine their knowledge, abilities, and experience to create results that exceed the capabilities of each individual.

The future of humanity will be determined not by how successfully people learn to compete with each other, but by how successfully they learn to cooperate with each other, with nature, and with technology.

Psychology of War and Peace

War and peace as states of society

In the New Psychology of DREVO, war and peace are viewed not only as political or military phenomena, but also as psychological states of individuals, communities, states, and civilizations.

War does not begin when the first shot is fired.

It begins when trust, respect, the ability to dialogue and recognition of human dignity are destroyed.

Peace also does not begin with the signing of a treaty.

It begins when people are able to see each other as human again.

Psychology of war

War is an extreme form of social conflict that arises when peaceful means of resolving contradictions are exhausted or rejected.

On a psychological level, the war is intensified by:

• fear;
• dehumanization of the enemy;
• hatred;
• feeling humiliated;
• thirst for revenge;
• propaganda;
• destruction of trust;
• lack of fair ways to resolve conflicts.

These factors may increase society's readiness for violence.

However, the causes of wars are always multidimensional and also include political, economic, historical and geopolitical processes.

The price of war

• Any war leaves consequences not only for the economy and infrastructure.
• It changes people's psyche.
• Tears apart families.
• Weakens trust.
• Passes on traumatic experiences to future generations.
• Destroys cultural ties.

Therefore, post-war reconstruction requires not only the restoration of cities, but also the restoration of human relations.

Psychology of the world

Peace is not the absence of conflict.

Peace is the ability of a society to resolve conflicts without destroying human life and dignity.

The psychology of the world is based on the development of:

• trust;→
• respect;→
• justice;
• culture of dialogue;
• cooperation;→
• responsibility;→
• empathy;
• the ability to see the long-term consequences of their decisions.

The world requires the daily work of every person.

The inner world of man

The external world begins with the internal world of the individual.

A person who knows how to manage their emotions, respects the dignity of others, and is capable of dialogue is more likely to become a source of cooperation rather than destruction.

This does not mean that an individual can prevent every war, but the development of such qualities strengthens the culture of peaceful interaction in society.

Protection and creation

The new psychology of DREVO recognizes the right of individuals, society, and the state to protect life, freedom, and human dignity.

The pursuit of peace does not mean giving up the ability to protect oneself and others.

However, the use of force should remain a last resort when other means of protection have proven insufficient.

Even in conflict situations, respect for human dignity must be maintained and efforts must be made to reduce the suffering of civilians.

Restoring peace

True recovery begins when society relearns:

• trust;→
• cooperate;
• hear different points of view;
• restore justice;
• support the victims;
• to educate a new generation without the cult of hatred;
• create common projects for the sake of the future.

Peace is not built by diplomats alone.

It is built by families, teachers, doctors, engineers, volunteers, entrepreneurs, artists and all the people who choose to create every day.

The main principle

War destroys what has been accumulated.

The world creates something new.

The psychology of war studies the reasons why individuals and societies turn to violence.

Peace psychology studies the conditions under which individuals and societies are able to maintain dignity, resolve conflicts, and co-create the future.

Definition

The Psychology of War and Peace is a section of DREVO's New Psychology that studies the psychological conditions that underlie the emergence, development, and resolution of social conflicts, as well as the patterns underlying the formation of a culture of cooperation, justice, and sustainable peace.

The highest goal of the development of civilization is not the victory of one side over the other, but the creation of conditions in which the need for war arises less and less frequently, and the ability of people to cooperate becomes stronger than the ability to destroy.

Psychology of the Future

From the science of problems to the science of development

The psychology of the future studies not only the causes of suffering, but also the laws of human development.

Its goal is not simply to help people adapt to the existing world, but to reveal their ability to create a healthier, more just and harmonious world.

A person is viewed not as an object of treatment, but as an active participant in his own life and the development of society.

Man as a living system

The psychology of the future considers a person as an integral system in which the following are interconnected:

• body;→
• subconscious;→
• psyche;→
• consciousness;→
• will;→
• superconsciousness;→
• soul;→
• spirit;→
• values ​​and meaning;→
• social connections;→
• environment.→

The development of one level inevitably affects all the others.

Therefore, it is impossible to understand a person by studying only the brain, only behavior, or only the social environment.

From personality to ecosystem

A person never develops alone.

His health depends on:

• families;
• culture;→
• education;
• nature;→
• economics;
• technologies;→
• quality of human relationships.

Future psychology views the individual as part of a broader ecosystem of life.

Therefore, caring for people is impossible without caring for society and the environment.

Science and openness to new ideas

The psychology of the future is based on the achievements of modern science:

• psychology;
• neuroscience;
• biology;
• medicine;
• pedagogy;
• sociology.

At the same time, it remains open to exploring new questions about the nature of consciousness, creativity, subjective experience, and other phenomena that have not yet received a full scientific explanation.

A new idea becomes part of science only after it has been tested, reproducible, and critically analyzed.

Development instead of correction

The main goal of the psychology of the future is not to make a person “normal”.

The main goal is to help him become more mature, free and capable of creation.

Psychological development includes:

• health promotion;
• development of thinking;
• education of will;
• disclosure of abilities;
• development of emotional maturity;
• strengthening relationships;
• formation of responsibility;
• search for meaning;
• realization of purpose.

Psychology of creation

The highest form of development becomes the ability to create.

Create:

• knowledge;→
• culture;→
• technologies;→
• family;→
• communities;
• works of art;
• scientific discoveries;
• environmental projects;
• conditions for the development of future generations.

Creation becomes a natural continuation of inner growth.

Man and technology

Artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology will change the life of humanity.

Therefore, the psychology of the future must answer not only the question:

• "How does a person interact with a person?"
• but also to the questions:
• "How does a person interact with artificial intelligence?"
• "What qualities will remain uniquely human?"

Technology should expand human capabilities, not replace freedom of choice, responsibility and individual dignity.

Psychology of the Future Civilization

The development of the individual is inseparable from the development of civilization.

True progress is not determined solely by economic growth and technological advances.

It is determined by the fact that

how much people become:

• healthier;
• more free;
• more responsible;
• more cooperative;
• more creative.

It is the quality of a person that determines the quality of the future society.

DREVO's Vision

The new psychology of DREVO views humans as living, self-developing systems capable of consciously participating in the development of life.

Its goal is to combine the achievements of science, practical experience and human philosophical understanding into a single system of knowledge.

It does not contrast body and consciousness, personality and society, man and nature, technology and humanism.

She strives to understand the laws by which life develops and to help people live in harmony with these laws.

The main goal

The psychology of the future is the science of unlocking human potential, strengthening the individual, developing society, and preserving life in all its manifestations.

• Her main question is not:
• "What's wrong with man?"
• A:

“What can a person become if conditions are created for his harmonious development?”
