Social Connections in New Psychology DREVO

In the New Psychology DREVO, social connections are considered a natural environment for personality development.

Man is born among people, develops among people, and reveals most of his abilities through interaction with others.

  • If the body provides life,
  • the psyche helps to understand the world,
  • consciousness allows you to choose,
  • will helps to act,
  • the soul retains its authenticity,
  • the spirit sets the direction,
  • and values ​​determine meaning,

then social connections create a space in which all this manifests itself in real life.

Man is a social being

  • A person does not develop in complete isolation.
  • Language emerges through communication.
  • Thinking develops through dialogue.
  • Culture is transmitted between people.
  • Knowledge is born in collaboration.

Love, friendship, trust, responsibility and mutual assistance also arise in relationships.

Personality is revealed through interaction with other people.

Basic levels of social connections

Social connections develop gradually.

Family

The first environment of life.

It is here that a person receives his first experience of love, security, communication and trust.

Genus

A source of historical memory, family traditions and continuity of generations.

Family helps a person understand their origins and feel the connection between the past, present and future.

Community

A voluntary association of people who share common values, interests, or goals.

The community becomes a space for cooperation and joint development.

Society

A broader system of relationships between people.

Society creates education, culture, economics, law, science and other institutions that allow people to realize their abilities.

Humanity

The highest level of social connections.

Despite the differences in cultures, languages ​​and states, all people belong to a single human community.

Today's global challenges—climate change, pandemics, technological advances, space exploration—require cooperation across all of humanity.

Basic needs for social connections

Every person needs:

These needs are an important part of psychological well-being.

Relationship quality

It is not the number of acquaintances that determines the quality of social connections.

Of primary importance are:

These are the qualities that create strong relationships.

Social connections and personal development

  • Every person simultaneously receives and gives.
  • Gains knowledge.
  • Receives support.
  • Gains experience.
  • But at the same time it conveys:
  • own knowledge;
  • care;
  • ideas;
  • experience;
  • help;
  • inspiration.

Thus, development becomes a mutual process.

Social connections and creation

Most of humanity's great achievements have been made possible through cooperation.

  • Scientific discoveries.
  • Works of art.
  • Cities.
  • University.
  • Technologies.
  • Environmental projects.
  • All of them are the result of the combined efforts of many people.

Therefore, social connections become the basis of a creative civilization.

The main principle

A person develops not in spite of other people.

It develops along with them.

The stronger the trust, cooperation and mutual respect, the more opportunities are revealed to each person.

True personal development is impossible without the development of human relationships.

Definition

Social ties are a system of relationships between a person and his family, clan, community, society and humanity, through which personality is formed, knowledge is transmitted, culture is created and joint development is carried out.

In the New Psychology of DREVO, social connections are considered one of the most important foundations of psychological health, since it is through relationships that people discover their abilities, learn to cooperate, and transform personal development into a contribution to the lives of others.

One person can achieve much. But it is through social connections that individuals become families, families become communities, communities become societies, and societies create civilization.
