Abstract

In the present study, we would like to develop a consistent proposal of general psychological terminology, including the constructive construction of the terms thus created. We believe consistently with W.

James (1890), who sought terms in the Principles of Psychology for English, such as "self-realization". "awareness of yourself as an object" to deepen the introspective analysis of the consciousness that, with the development of cognitive psychology and modern neurosciences, we need a new, systematic terminology of general psychological nomenclature, in the intentions created by dr. Sedláková (2004).

I would, therefore, first elaborate on its proposal for a distinction between "actual" and "dispositional" mental contents; secondly, to derive terms for further general-psychological construction nomenclature and terminology. The purpose of this study is to critically analyze the terms of general psychology for a clearer psychological analysis and development of psychological thinking.
