metadata.value: This article analyzes the field of science that studies the entire spectrum of phenomena in
  the psychology of the possible. Why only today did we start talking about a new field of psychology,
  the psychology of the possible? Its novelty lies in the new emphasis on the possible
  as unexpected, incredible, and improbable. In the psychology of the possible, at one pole of
  the understanding of psychologists is the adaptive possible, based on past experience, and
  on the opposite is the possible as a pre-adaptive phenomenon (understanding of events that
  are not causally related to the ontogenesis of the subject). The connecting link between these
  poles is the idea of the sought-for in human thinking, the prediction of the initially unknown
  when solving the problem. In the psychological analysis of personality, on the left pole of the
  “conscious — unconscious” continuum, there are alternative possible selves conscious of the
  subject and therefore enumerable, on the right — personality as an existential mystery. The
  theoretical and methodological foundations of the psychology of the possible were analyzed
  in detail — the philosophy of the possible M. N. Epstein, the historical and evolutionary concept
  of pre-adaptation to uncertainty by A. G. Asmolov with colleagues, scientific ideas about
  the uncertainty of the human world. The concept of possible thinking, which analyzes different
  options and alternatives of the possible, is disclosed and substantiated in detail. At the end
  of the report three large groups of phenomena in the psychology of the possible are analyzed:
  the phenomena traditionally studied in psychology that relate to the possible (affordances,
  anticipation, and others), the phenomena of the sought-for, and the understanding of the possible
  as a pre-adaptive phenomenon that characterizes unstable situations, the occurrence of
  which cannot be predicted.
