METHODOLOGY OF PSYCHOLOGY: DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCEPT OF FACT

The article is devoted to the methodological issue of the fact development. The special relevance of this work is that many authors do not recognize it as a methodological problem. In the popular psychological dictionary the matter is generally defined as the result of observation or experiment, which does not allow equivocation. This contradicts the widely known situations where the fact is evaluated and interpreted in different ways. The author makes detailed research of A. Nikiforov, who defined the fact as a structure. According to him this is a promising approach, but from the psychological point of view the concept of the fact needs another interpretation.
