Creative Life-Orientation in a Paradigm of Personality’s Health and Positive Existence

Abstract

In the present work the conception of personal creative life-orientation is presented. Within the limits of the given conception, it is proved that creative life-orientation, firstly, results in improved quality of life expressed by positive figures in health-keeping parameters and, secondly, it has a dualistic nature which reveals it both as a condition and as a result of the construction of an existential algorithm. The new terminological Russian-English pair “creative life-orientation = креативность” is used to appropriately differentiate terms that would otherwise share the same denotation in Russian: “творчество” and “креативность”. In the field context of language traning, it is shown that the deployment of creative life-orientation is accompanied by its positive influence on the psycho- soma-physiological wellbeing and on the efficiency of a person’s life capability.
