Gospodarka i osobowość w epoce przełomu postindustrialnego
Economy and Personality in the Epoch of Postindustrial Breakthrough

Summary/Abstract: Modal personality in period of industrial capitalism was focused on fulfilling obligations, whereas the new economy more often refers to self-fulfillment needs. The fall of industrial society is accompanied by an increase in mental tensions and the number of psychiatric advices. There are probably much fewer mental disorders than evidenced by medical statistics. As the industrial societies vanished, the coefficients of suicides showed a declining trend. The personality changes are heading towards further individualization and growing importance of self–fulfillment, thus according with the logic of development of the new economy. Hence, the development of personality precedes the economic change.
