ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ОНТОЛОГІЧНОГО МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ЯК ЗАСОБУ ВЕРИФІКАЦІЇ РЕЗУЛЬТАТІВ ПСИХОЛОГІЧНОГО ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ (НА ПРИКЛАДІ ВИВЧЕННЯ ЯВИЩ ГРИ)

Purpose. Methodological differences in the verification standards for the results of scientific knowledge between individual psychological branches represented in the domestic and global scientific space, the peculiarities of extremely complex psychological knowledge objects indicates the need to modernize the relevant standards and choose the optimal methodological platform for the verification of the results of modern psychological research. This paper discusses the feasibility of choosing such a ontological modeling platform, which is a special descriptive methodology and an alternative to the naturalistic experimental approach in verifying the results of psychological research. Ontological modeling provides the possibility for a more objective verification of the achievements for the study of intelligible objects, which have a distinct cultural and historical meaning, extremely complex structure and functionality, an ancient and diverse history of their own empirical representations. The purpose of the article is a theoretical study of ways to modernize the standards of verification of the results of modern psychological research using the example of the verification of the promising theory of game modeling of human vital activity in uncertainty conditions. Methods.The research uses the methods of analysis and systematization for psychological and interdisciplinary approaches in the study of verification patterns for the psychological knowledge results, comparison and optimization for the content of its standards on the study example of game modeling of human vital activity in uncertainty conditions. Results. According to the results of the study, the expediency of choosing ontological modeling (the names "conceptual modeling", "formal ontology", "formal ontology" and "ontological engineering" are also used synonymously) as a perspective basis for the verification of the psychological research results, a new universal methodological tool of Ukrainian psychology, has been proven using the example for game modeling of human vital activity in uncertainty. The existing scientific approaches that argue for the choice of ontological modeling as the basis for the verification of new psychological knowledge are specified. The methodological perspective of the modernization for the verification norms of psychological theories and concepts based on the ontological approach has been updated and substantiated. Modern scientific ideas are generalized and fundamental approaches to the verification of the results of knowledge of unlimited generality objects, i.e. ultra-complex simultaneously intelligible and empirical objects, are deepened. It has been established that ontological modeling has a universal scientific purpose and is able to overcome the shortcomings of the naturalistic experimental method for verification of research products, to be the optimal methodological platform for the verification of the modern psychological research results. Conclusions. The results of the study allow us to conclude about the relevance of the above issues and the expediency of choosing ontological modeling as a prospective basis for the verification of the psychological research results using the example for game modeling of human vital activity in uncertainty. A well-founded description of the standards and the process for verification of the psychological research results for game modeling of human vital activity in uncertainty conditions is considered promising.
