The principles of selection and creation of the methods,

Techniques and equipment for a person’s system diagnostics

These principles (requirements) are formulated on the basis of system approach and contemporal requirements of psychological practice. They have become those theoretical criteria with the help of which we selected and modified available and created new methods, techniques and devices for a person’s system diagnostics in practical psychology.

1. The principle of sufficiency. Assumes the sufficiency of the arsenal of techniques and devices for the diagnostic scope of important qualities placed on all the basic levels of the hierarchical structure of a person’s qualities, presented on picture 1.

2. The principle of correspondence. Assumes the correspondence of diagnostic methods and equipment to general scientific standards (validity, reliability, trustworthiness, accuracy, and ecological cleanliness).

3. The principle of universality. Assumes that the preference is given to more universal diagnostic methods and devices, i.e. those, which allow to diagnose larger group of parameters. Such approach, contributing to the realization of the principle of sufficiency, at the same time limits the number of necessary methods and devices.

4. The principle of adequacy. Assumes the adequacy of diagnostic technique to the hierarchical position and functional peculiarities of investigated quality. According to this principle, it is reasonable to use the questionnaires for the diagnostics of qualities placed on four upper levels of a person’s structure. The qualities of three lower levels should be investigated with the help of devices.

5. The principle of continuum. Assumes the result of any diagnostic investigation should be presented in the form of a point on discrete continuum of diagnosed quality.

6. The principle of comparability of results. Assumes that the methods and equipment enable to present the results of various investigations in the uniform digital system of counting.

7. The principle of standardization. Assumes: a)the standardization of diagnostic methods, techniques and equipment; b)the expediency of reducing the results of the diagnostics of different parameters to standard diagnostic scale.

8. The principle of portability. Assumes the advantage of portable diagnostic methods and equipment with the purpose of saving time and simplifying the requirements to its material support.

9. The principle of modeling. Assumes the legitimacy and expediency of: a) studying the qualities under the conditions of modeling the appropriate activity (situation); b) using simplified models, which interaction reflects a composite quality.

10. The principle of availability. Assumes the availability of diagnostic techniques and equipment for mass user in usual conditions. Includes: a) scientific-practical availability in receiving and interpreting the results; b) economical (financial) availability in purchasing and exploitation.

11. Принцип автоматизации. Предполагает целесообразность автоматизации процедуры исследования и обработки результатов.

12. Принцип относительности. Предполагает приоритет относительных результатов исследования над абсолютными.

CHAPTER 1.

DEVICE «ACTIVATIONMETER ATs-6»

AS A MEANS FOR A HUMANE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Activationmeter ATs-6», general organization

«Activationmeter ATs-6» (drawing 1) is a device framed in a case (1)

 

 

 

Activationmeter Ats-6.

The device consists of:

1 – case, 2 - amplifier controls, 3 - regulating head of indicator, 4 - ruler with differently directed scales, 5 - plug of acupuncture probes, 6 - control push button, 7 – electrode, 8 – electrode, 9 - handle and forearm stay, 10 – case, 11 - control panel, 12 - cuvette for testing with the help of R. Voll method, 13 - spot electrode, 14 - acupuncture probe, 15 - zoned electrode, 16 – cursor, 17- arrow indicator, 18 - buttons for mode of operation, 19 - storage drawer for acupuncture probes, 20 - acupuncture electrodes, 21 - handle to move rulers.

The device in drawing 1 consists of seven diagnostic devices:

1.Universal diagnostic scale, consisted of:

- spaced digital scale with different vector directions, disposed on ruler 4.   

- two markers, moving along it, situated on slides 16, to give positive and negative scores.

Scale measurement range is from minus 25 to plus 25 scores with up to 0,1 point accuracy.

 2. Device to diagnose eyesight estimation consisted of

- ruler 4,divided into 300 equal points;

- two slides 16, freely moving along the guide;

- «blind» ruler with a marker in the center. This ruler if necessary, is moved   to the place of ruler 4 with the help of handle 21. 

 3. Cinematometer, consisted of:

 - slide 16, freely moving along the guide;

 - ruler 4, divided into 300 equal points.

 4. Coordinationmeter, consisted of two symmetrically placed cinema-tometers.

 5.Activationmeter, consisted of the Following components:

 - two arrow indicators 17;

 - two pairs of symmetrically disposed metal plated electrodes 7 and 8;

 - button switches of operation modes.

 6. Lie detector, consisted of Activationmeter, device for acupuncture diagnostics and device for testing under R. Voll method.

7. Acupuncture diagnostic device consisted of:

- two arrow indicators 17;

- two probes 14 with interchangeable spot 13, zoned 15 and aurico- punctured 20 electrodes.

- two passive la mellara electrodes 8;

     - two signal output amplifiers with regulation handles 2;

     - button 6 for acupuncture diagnostics channel adjustment control.

8. Device for R. Voll testing method consisted of:

- device for acupuncture diagnostics

- cuvette 12 to test substances of organic and non organic origin.
