metadata.value: One of the most important topics of modern personality psychology is studying of how modern
  reality changes’ influence on personality. A problem of human variability refers to fundamental
  themes of psychology: parameter ‘variability — immutability’ is included in a system
  of basic characteristics of personality’s description. Rubinstein formulated it as a problem
  of correlation of variability and identity of a person. Traditionally, the problem of changes in
  psychology is examined through the theme of human development. Awareness of who/man’s
  role him/herself as a source and factor of his/her own development and his/her own changes
  leads to the emergence of the concept of self-processes and active study of them. In domestic
  psychology, the most developed and represented are the concepts of self-regulation and selfdevelopment.
  Typical for most studies focused on sources of human changes is the localisation
  of changes in personality traits of a person, their ‘inscription’ in an internal structure of an
  individual. At the same time, a notion of challenges of changing context is widely recognised in modern psychology. They are becoming a source of changes, requiring new ways and strategies
  for interaction with the surrounding world. We propose a notion of a self-change potential of
  personality which includes (1) ability and readiness of a person to understand ‘challenges’ of
  the situation and need for changes, (2) readiness to accept this need, and (3) willingness to act
  in accordance with perceived challenges. All together they constitute a potential that reflects
  a possibility of human variability. In modern conditions, preservation of stability, ‘an identity’
  of individual requires his/her constant changes and development. Counterposing of adaptive
  and transformative strategies of human behaviour, of ‘survival’ and ‘life creation’ ones (in which
  a ‘survival’ is considered as necessary for normal life activity, and a ‘life creation’ — as its possible
  component) is irrelevant in modern conditions. ‘Life-making’ becomes a necessity and
  a condition for human survival in modern conditions, and such characteristics of an individual
  as ability and readiness for changes start to play an increasingly important role in people’s lives.
