Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of search activity in terms of physiology and psychology and its contribution to the process of adaptation. A conclusion is made that prerequisites of search behaviour are innate and biologically determined, but are displayed only at adequate upbringing. The role of search activity as a motivational component of dominant needs in behavioral response was determined. Further the authors identified the interrelation of search activity and emotions, as well as the influence of social factors on its development. As of today, there is no unified research strategy for studying the problem of search activity, while this complex and multifaceted phenomenon needs to be studied from various scientific standpoints and in the framework of systems research.

Keywords
