| description | The relevance of the research in the field of historical psychology arises from two main factors. Firstly, there is some potential of this fi eld, which has not been suffi ciently explored but has a predictive function and is practically signifi cant in explaining modern reality. Secondly, a lack of theoretical and methodological development in historical psychology highlights the need for more research. Purpose: this paper aims to explore the psychological aspects of historical events within the framework of historical psychology. Historical psychology, as an interdisciplinary fi eld, can benefi t from incorporating psychological insights into historical analysis. The study shows that he concept of ‘event’ has diff erent meanings in history and psychology, however, their interrelationship and mutual infl uence is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of historical phenomena through the lens of historical psychology. The concept of ‘historical event’ is one of the major ones in historical science. For historical psychology, the task is to examine the psychological content of historical events. Results: the research has revealed the content of the concept of ‘historical event’ in the humanities and the concept of ‘event’ in psychology. Such analysis shows the mandatory involvement of a person in any historical event. Analysis of the behavioral motives, goals, values, and worldviews of people from a particular historical period can contribute to identifying the determinants of historical events. Moreover, the study of collective emotions about events can help describe the psychological state of society under the infl uence of specific historical events. Conclusions: several criteria for analyzing the psychological aspect of historical events in historical psychology have been identifi ed: analysis of the behavior of the event participants, their motives and goals, and methods of action; participation of historical fi gures in the event; the description of the historical event from the perspective of historical time; the event as an idea; feelings and collective emotions associated with the historical event. The practical signifi cance of the research lies in the refl ection of the infl uence of historical events on individuals and society as a whole. This infl uence manifests itself through the historical memory of people and determines a person’s sense of belonging to a particular historical community. It also contributes to the consolidation of society by creating shared collective experiences of historical events that are signifi cant for that society and are passed down from generation to generation. |
