Abstract

The article discusses some aspects of screening, content, and specifics of selecting psychological diagnostic methods as a stage in conducting a psychological experiment.

It has been established that any diagnostic procedure requires preliminary theoretical justification. An important component of psychological diagnosis is psychometrics, which substantiates and develops psychological methods. The purpose of psychological diagnosis is determined by the practical application of specially designed tools to achieve clearly defined goals in assessing a person's current psychological state.

It has been determined that one of the important methods in psychological diagnosis is diagnostic screening, which involves preliminary selection and identification of a specific range of issues that require attention. Screening is a diagnostic activity performed by a practical psychologist to determine the current state of the respondent through rapid testing, followed by the provision of psychological assistance.

When selecting and subsequently implementing psychological diagnostic methods, consideration should be given to the issue of relevance, whether the diagnostic method is appropriate for the subject of the study.

Psychological diagnosis analyzes the individual psychological characteristics of a person or group. It assesses the properties of human consciousness using special methods. These methods are characterized by a number of requirements: verification, validity, reliability, accuracy, simplicity, and clarity. It has been established that psychological diagnostic methods are divided into psychological diagnosis and research methods. It has been proven that the classification of methods includes observation, questioning methods, experimental methods, objective methods, questionnaires and analysis of activity products, content analysis, and others.
