Scientific focuses

edit

Alexander N. Poddiakov develops the concept of research and creative thinking of a person in complex developing areas, in conditions of high novelty, dynamics and contradictions. The concept is interdisciplinary, integrating the provisions of psychology, the theory of complex dynamical systems, logic, mathematics and Conflict resolution. One of the key points of the analysis is help and counteraction as two fundamental types of interaction in various types of activities.

In the field of psychodiagnostics, he develops the position about the impossibility of a standard test of creative thinking as a "standard for measuring non-standardness". He discovered and analyzed an error in the PISA-2012 (Programme for International Student Assessment) diagnostic task for creative thinking: the developers created in advance a closed list of creative answers that were guided in the assessment, without taking into account other possible correct solutions.[4]
