Resum

The study aims to provide an in-depth analysis and research of the theoretical and methodological foundations underlying the definition of the subject of psychological research within the metamodern paradigm. The study highlights the paradigm’s emphasis on oscillation between rational and emotional aspects, allowing for a more flexible, interdisciplinary approach to psychology. The findings demonstrate that metamodernism reshapes psychological research by addressing socio-cultural influences enhancing adaptability in studying mental health and identity. Furthermore, the study underscores the paradigm’s role in developing innovative psychological methodologies and psychotherapeutic interventions. By incorporating qualitative and quantitative approaches, metamodernism enables a more nuanced understanding of mental processes and behavioral adaptation. The conclusions affirm its significance in shaping contemporary psychological science, particularly in addressing modern mental health challenges.
