Abstract

The present work gives in brief ten main arguments in favor of the Person-Oriented Conception of Happiness (POCH) as the main candidate to the role of the ultimate theory in modern psychology. Dual system and multilevel construction of POCH enables a bigger volume of material investigated, gives the opportunity for the scientist to occupy different positions for monitoring and analysis. POCH also covers heights and depths in the investigation – from studying biological predispositions of psychic phenomena up to acme of the human spirit.
