metadata.value: The concept of wholeness, which is one of the main concepts in the description of personality,
  is discussed. In psychology, wholeness is considered as a characteristic of personality
  and as a requirement for its study. In traditional approaches to understanding wholeness, it
  is described through the relative constancy of personality substructures, interconnected, or,
  in dynamic approaches, through the development of wholeness based on the connection of
  existing structures with the emergence of new formations. Violation of the principle of integrity
  in research studying individual components of personality became one of the main
  reasons for the crisis in personality psychology of the twentieth century. Difficulties in studying
  the wholeness of personality are associated, among other things, with differences in its
  interpretations, with the polysemy and uncertainty of the concepts that describe it, which is demonstrated by the results of the analysis of the conceptual field in scientific discourse. It is
  proposed to consider wholeness as a fundamental category in the description of personality,
  along with the categories of variability and stability. Wholeness is understood as an integral
  characteristic that works at different levels of the functional organization of the individual,
  which correlate with the contexts of the individual’s life. In accordance with the developed
  processual approach, integrity is a dynamic formation, the balance of which is ensured by the
  balance of the processes of change and stability; the content of the conjugate action of these
  processes is the “completion” of the stability of the individual due to the changes that occur.
