Introduction: the study is devoted to the analysis of psychological aspects of personality development at different stages of one's life. The article analyzes the transformations that take place during the periods of maturation and aging from the standpoint of biological, social and psychological contexts.
Method: the research methodology is based on theoretical and inductive-deductive methods. The most significant factors influencing the psychological development of a person during his or her development – biological and social – are identified.
Results: it is substantiated that an individual develops most actively through involvement in the processes of learning, gaining life experience, communication and skills of interaction with diverse objects. It is found that in the process of ontogenesis, the individual develops not only as a biological organism but also as a conscious social phenomenon. The necessity of taking into account the aspects of psychological development in various spheres - social, physical, cognitive – is argued. The author analyzes the aspects of physical development – the dynamics of the shapes and sizes of human body organs, sensory capabilities, brain structure, motor skills, etc.; social development – the synergy of social skills and personal traits; cognitive development – mental abilities, thinking, and other psychological processes. It is noted that all areas of development take place interdependently and simultaneously.
Conclusions: it is proved that a comprehensive study of the psychological aspects of different stages of human development contributes to the improvement of their passage in terms of psychological well-being.
